Miner's lettuce or Rooreh (Claytonia perfoliata) is an annual herb in the Montia family. It is native to a large portion of western North America, including almost every county in California. It is a trailing plant.
Mature leaves are round, succulent and edible. The small white flowers have five petals they appear from February to May or June.
The presence of Rooreh is indicative of a healthy oak woodland. This plant tends to be more drought adapted near the coast and other cool-weather areas.
