Claytonia virginica, also known as the Virginia springbeauty, is a perennial plant found in eastern North America. It is named after botanist John Clayton and is known for its abundance in various habitats. The plant has slender leaves and produces small, pale pink or white flowers with five petals. Its seeds are dispersed by ants and it is a cytologically complex species. Some varieties, such as Hammond's yellow spring beauty, have a limited range and population. The plant has been used medicinally and as a food source by indigenous peoples. The corms and above ground parts of the plant are safe for human consumption.
