Is this Alumroot?
I took a few photographs of an interesting flower today in Shenandoah
National Park, Virginia. I believe it is probably alumroot, Heuchera americana, but I am not sure. Both Peterson and Audobon field guides say that the flowers on that species droop, and these did not. You can see the photos at http://www.nyx.net/~dhcox/park (the three labeled as Heuchera). I would appreciate any opinions on the id of this flower. It was on a dry, rocky slope, dominated by chestnut oaks. The leaves were about 1.25 inches across; I hope you can see the scale of the flowers against the context of my hand. -David Cox |

Looks like Heuchra americana to me. Gleason & Cronquist doesn't mention
drooping petioles. Remember, plants don't read the books!! Judy Kelly "David Hamilton Cox" wrote in message ...
