Synonyms [1] | |

Valeriana umbilicata ( synonym Valerianella umbilicata), known by the common name navel cornsalad. [1] It is a dicot, annual plant in the flowering plant family Caprifoliaceae. It is native to the Eastern North America and some parts of Canada and has no known uses other than being edible. [2]
Navel cornsalad is an herbaceous succulent annual plant. [3] It has dichotomously branched leaves that are attached along the stem rather than attached at the base. The leaves are spatulate, or "spoon-like" and are attached directly to the stem without a petiole. [3] It can be anywhere between 3-6 dm tall. The petals are either white or pink to red, [4] and range from 2-5 mm long. The pollen bearing organs project out strongly. They are rare and found in fields, roadsides, and waste places. [3]
Valeriana umbilicata is native to CAN N and L48 N (lower 48 states) [2] and has a known distribution that includes specimens from the central Piedmont to the southern Mountains. This species appears to be absent from the northern mountains and the Piedmont foothills. [5] V. umbilicata is rare and lives in damp and open environments. It thrives in disturbed areas such as damp meadows, bottomland openings, roadsides, [5] marshes, and fields. [4]
Human disturbances such as development, deforestation, and changes must be avoided by the Valerianella umbilicata species. This species has minimal comprehensive habitat information. [6]
This species of cornsalad is not known to be used by wildlife and has no known medical uses, [7] but it can be eaten as a vegetable. [8]
The global ranking on conservation status is G4-G5. [6] [9] There is no US status, [6] however individual states have included a state rank. In Michigan, V. umbilicata is threatened (T) and legally protected by the state and holds a state rank of S2 - Imperiled. [6] North Carolina's state rank is SH - Endangered. [10] New Jersey's state rank is SH - Endangered. [2]
