Claytonia rubra is a species of wildflower in the springbeauty family known by the common names redstem springbeauty and red miner's lettuce. It is native to western North America from southwestern Canada to the United States of America extending from The Black Hills and western slopes of the Rocky Mountains to the Cascade and Coast Range, Ochoco and Wallowa Mountains south to the Warner Mountains, Yolla Bolly Mountains, and Sierra Nevada and Transverse Ranges [Mt.

In British Columbia it is found in the Okanogan Region and on Vancouver Island. Its native range includes most of Washington and Oregon on both sides of the Cascade Range, but more commonly east of the range. The species grows in all the mountainous part of California including the North Coast, the Klamath Ranges, the north and south Coast Ranges, in the Sierra Nevada, the Transverse Ranges, and even in the Warner Mountains and the White Mountains.
