Those familiar with the seedlings of both say that the leaves are linear in the Lewisia but broader in Claytonia is not very conclusive. The rootstock has also been referred to as a corm; Sampson Clay (1937) deftly avoided controversy by calling it a ''little round earth nut," a common reference for geophytic food plants in the Old World.
