Claytonia sarmentosa is a species of flowering plant in the genus Claytonia , which is indigenous to the mountains of the Lake Baikal region and eastern Siberia and northwestern North America including Alaska, Yukon and northern British Columbia. [2] A widespread species of the mountain chains of Asia and North America, Claytonia sarmentosa has been subject of differing taxonomic opinions with problematic confusion with Claytonia arctica and C. scammaniana . [3] A taxonomic revision including an analysis of the Udokan Mountains population and comparison with Alaskan material was published in 2006. [4]
