Claytonia saxosa

Claytonia saxosa, known by the common name Brandegee's springbeauty, is a species of wildflower in the family Montiaceae.

It is found on rocky open slopes at mid to high elevations.

Claytonia saxosa is a small, compact annual herb forming clumps a few centimeters wide in rock crevices.

The basal leaves and flowering stems are pink or red in color, packed densely together about the short stem that surmounts a minute, tuberous caudex.

[2] Two to ten flowers emerge from the clump, each with five light pink petals under a centimeter long.
