  1. Any of several annual flowering plants, of the genus Clarkia, native to the Americas.
    • 1999, Hanneke Van Dijk, Encyclopedia of Border Plants, page 150:
      This annual plant resembles the clarkia so strongly that all godetias are now classified as clarkias. But we will mention them individually here because most seed catalogues still do the same.
