Claytonia (Portulacaceae) not in the Student's Flora      
Claytonia perfoliata is a small introduced herb that occurs occasionally in wet places. It has leaves in rosettes, but these are usually lost by the time the plant flowers. The distinctive feature is the leafy bract that forms a plate-like ring around the stem below the inflorescence.
