Donax is a genus of small, edible saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs with highly variable color patterns. The genus is sometimes called bean clams or wedge shells; however, Donax species bear different common names in different parts of the world. In the southeastern United States, they are called "coquina", a word that is also used for the hard limestone concretions of their shells and those of other marine invertebrates.
Donax vittatus, dite donace ou surnommée donace des canards, est une espèce de mollusques bivalves marins de la famille des Donacidae. Elle est nommée également olive, haricot de mer ou flion. Elle est parfois vendue sous l'appellation de telline.
