Claytonia tuberosa, commonly known as Beringian springbeauty or tuberous springbeauty, (Inupiaq: oatkuk, ulqit, utqiq, ulqiq)[2][3] is a species of flowering plant in the family Montiaceae.
It is a perennial herb indigenous to Alaska, British Columbia, Northwest Territories, and the Yukon of North America, westward to East Asia–Siberia.
[4] The perennial grows from a globose tuberous root to a height of 15 centimetres (6 in) and bears several hermaphrodite white flowers on stems bearing a single pair of petiolate cauline leaves.
Its closest relative is probably Claytonia virginica.
