Claytonia caroliniana, also known as the Carolina springbeauty, is an herbaceous perennial in the family Montiaceae. It is native to eastern and central North America, and is most commonly found in the New England area of the United States. It grows approximately 6 inches tall in forests of the Appalachian Mountains and piedmont. It blooms from March to June and has pink and purple petals with dark pink veins. It has two green leaves that grow opposite each other on a node, and its tuberous roots are edible and rich in starch. The plant was named after John Clayton, an early collector of plant specimens in Virginia.
