in Asia. North America Two species of Clintonia occur in western North America: C. andrewsiana is localized along the West Coast of the United States, from central California to southwestern Oregon. C. uniflora ranges from central California to southern Alaska, extending east into Alberta and Montana. The remaining two species are found in eastern North America: C. borealis is wide-ranging, from Newfoundland and Labrador to Manitoba, extending south across New England and the Great Lakes region into the Appalachian Mountains. C. umbellulata is endemic to the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States.

Ecology Spring blooming. Cultivation Clintonia species are cultivated as garden subjects in shade gardens, grown for the glossy foliage, small lily-like flowers, and blue fruits, and their ability to live in heavy shade. They grow best in cool, organic-rich, acid soils that retain
