Claytonia lanceolata Pursh[FNA4, HC, HC2]
lanceleaf springbeauty
Publication: Fl. Amer. Sept. 1: 175, plate 3. 1814.
Origin: Native
selected vouchers: WTU
Notes: Taxonomy follows FNA, with the varieties in H&C split among two species, Claytonia lanceolata s. str. and C. multiscapa.
FNA5: "Some differences of opinion exist regarding the relationships of Claytonia lanceolata and C. rosea. The work of D. K. Halleck and D. Wiens (1966) and J. S. Shelly et al. (1998) provides ample justification for their recognition as distinct species."
