Claytonia saxosa

Brandegee's Springbeauty

The genus Claytonia comprises 26 species.

Claytonia saxosa has never previously been reported or collected in Oregon, according to Jim Duncan of the Siskiyou chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon. I found a number of plants of this species on June 12 th 2010, on Grizzly Peak, above Ashland. Jim Duncan had himself collected plants in another place of the Cascade-Sikiyou National Monument during the early days of June. Welcome to Claytonia saxosa!
