| Saxifragaceae | Astilbe | Astilbe, False Goat's-beard | | | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Astilbe biternata | Appalachian Astilbe, Appalachian False Goat's-beard | Cove forests, seepage slopes, boulderfield forests. | VA, sw. WV, and KY south to n. GA. | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Astilbe crenatiloba | Roan Mountain Astilbe, Roan Mountain False Goat's-beard | Mountain forests. | Known only from Roan Mountain, Carter County, TN and very rare or extinct. This species has apparently not been seen since the original collections (11 September 1885) by N.L. Britton and Mrs. Britton ("Tennessee. Base of Roan Mountain. Collected on the slope of Roan Mountain, East Tennessee, along the trail from ‘Cloudland’ to the Roan Mountain station of the E.T. & W.N.C.R.R."). The habitat, phenology, and other characteristics of this species are therefore poorly known. | |
| Saxifragaceae | Boykinia | Boykinia | | | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Boykinia aconitifolia | Brook-saxifrage, Aconite-saxifrage, Eastern Boykinia, Allegheny Brookfoam | Streambanks, riverbanks, in crevices in spray cliffs around waterfalls, seepages. | A Southern Appalachian endemic: sw. VA and s. WV, south through w. NC, e. TN, and nw. SC, to n. GA and ne. AL. |
|
| Saxifragaceae | Chrysosplenium | Golden-saxifrage | | |

|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera | Alumroot | | | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera aceroides | Mapleleaf Alumroot | Shaded calcareous or basic cliffs. | W. NC and e. TN. In NC, H. aceroides occurs primarily in the sedimentary window around Hot Springs, and is possibly limited to Madison, Buncombe, and Haywood counties. | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera alba | | Quartzitic outcrops at high elevations (WV and VA), on acid cliffs at lower elevations (PA). | C. PA south to w. VA and ne. WV. See Schuette et al. (2018) for discussion of the taxon and its range extension northwards into c. PA. | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera americana | American Alumroot | Rocky forests, rock outcrops, particularly where soils are subacidic to circumneutral. | CT and NY west to s. ON, n. IN, s. IL, and sc. MO south to c. GA, c. AL, n. MS, n. LA, and ne. TX. | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera arkansana | Arkansas Alumroot | Shaded rock outcrops. | Endemic to AR, mainly in the Boston Mountains and Ozark Plateau. | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera caroliniana | Carolina Alumroot | Rocky forests, rock outcrops, particularly where soils are subacidic to circumneutral, replacing H. americana in much of the upper Piedmont. | Endemic to the Piedmont of sc. VA, NC, and nc. SC; first found in VA (Henry County) by T.F. Wieboldt in 2002 (Belden et al. 2004). | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera hirsuticaulis | | Bluffs and outcrops. | S. MI west to n. IL and sw. MO, south to c. TN, nw. AR, and ne. OK. In Union Parish, LA (Michael 2021c). Allegedly ranging east to w. KY (Medley 1993), w. and c. TN (D. Estes, pers. comm. 2008), and e. GA (Screven County specimens at NCU, but perhaps better considered H. americana [var. heteradenia]). | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera hispida | Purple Alumroot | Calcareous rocky forests, rock outcrops, particularly where soils are subacidic to circumneutral. | S. PA south through MD, WV, and VA to nw. NC. | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera longiflora | Long-flowered Alumroot | Rich shaded forests and woodlands over calcareous rocks such as limestone, dolostone, or calcite-cemented shales, siltstones, or sandstones, in circumneutral soils. | This species is nearly limited to sedimentary rocks, occurring in e. and c. KY, s. OH, sw. WV, sw. VA, ne. TN, and c. AL. | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera macrorhiza | Giant Alumroot | Cliffs, riverbanks, especially in calcareous or subcalcareous substrates. | S. WV, s. OH, and s. IN south through c. KY and c. TN to n. AL and ne. MS. | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera missouriensis | Missouri Alumroot, Interior Low Plateau Grotto Alumroot | Shaded cliff bases, usually under overhangs, on grotto floors, nearly always in deeply shaded situations where little or no direct sunlight falls. | S. IN and s. IL south through Cumberland TN to n. AL and ne. MS (Tishomingo County). | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera parviflora var. parviflora | Cumberland Grotto Alumroot | Shaded cliff bases, usually under overhangs, on grotto floors, behind waterfalls where humidity is high but not in the spray zone, in rockhouses of the Cumberland Plateau, nearly always in deeply shaded situations where little or no direct sunlight falls. | An uncommon species throughout its range (s. OH, WV, w. VA south through e. KY to w. NC, nw. SC, n. GA, and se. TN), H. parviflora is probably most common in the gorge and waterfall country of sw. NC and in the Cumberland Plateau of TN and KY. |
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera parviflora var. saurensis | Sauratown Grotto Alumroot | Shaded cliff bases, nearly always in deeply shaded situations where little or no direct sunlight falls. | Known only from the Sauratown Mountains and Linville Gorge, in the upper Piedmont and Blue Ridge escarpment of nw. NC | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera puberula | Ozark Grotto Alumroot | Riparian areas, and also shaded cliff bases. | 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. | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Heuchera pubescens | Marbled Alumroot | Rocky forests, rock outcrops, particularly where soils are subacidic or circumneutral. | Primarily a species of the Ridge and Valley Province of PA, MD, WV, and VA, H. pubescens ranges south to only a few locations in the upper Piedmont of NC. The report in RAB of the occurrence of H. pubescens in Madison County, NC, is apparently erroneous; Wells (1984) shows H. pubescens reaching its southern limit just south of the VA border, and not occurring at all in KY, TN, or the mountains of NC. She found the bract characters used in the key in RAB to be unreliable. Reported by Hill & Horn (1997) for South Carolina {report needs verification}. | 
|

VA and s. WV south through w. NC and e. TN to nw. SC, n. GA, ne. AL (primarily a Southern Blue Ridge endemic). |

|
| Saxifragaceae | Micranthes petiolaris var. shealyi | Escarpment Saxifrage, Shealy's Saxifrage | In moist seepage over rock, at low elevations (2000-3000 feet). | Endemic, so far as is known, to Pickens County, SC. Additional material perhaps matching this taxon has recently been found in Polk County, NC (O. Carson, pers.comm., 2019). | 
|
| Saxifragaceae | Micranthes texana | Texas Saxifrage | Prairies, eastwards on outcrops of sandstone, chert, and granite. | Sw. MO and se. KS south through AR and OK to nw. LA and e. TX; disjunct in e. GA (found in 1980 by Jim Allison on a small granite outcrop in McDuffie County, GA). It is uncertain whether its occurrence in GA represents a natural disjunction or a freak introduction (J. Allison, pers. comm.). |
