Heuchera

not marked as a favorite taxon Heuchera puberula Mackenzie & Bush. Common name: Ozark Grotto Alumroot. Habitat: Riparian areas, and also shaded cliff bases. Distribution: Apparently restricted to the Ozark Plateau; references to this taxon occurring east of the Mississippi River appear to be based on misidentifications of H. parviflora, based on aberrant glabrous specimens otherwise consistent with the latter taxon.
