Foamflower
''Tiarella'', the foamflowers, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Saxifragaceae. The generic name ''Tiarella'' means "little turban", which suggests the shape of the seed capsules. Worldwide there are seven species, one each in eastern Asia and western North America, plus five species in eastern North America. , the taxonomy of ''Tiarella'' in eastern North America is in flux. Description Plants of genus ''Tiarella'' are perennial, herbaceous plants with short, slender rhizomes. Three morphological features are used to distinguish ''Tiarella'' species: 1) presence or absence of stolons; 2) size and shape of basal leaves; and 3) presence or absence of stem leaves (also called cauline leaves). Two species of ''Tiarella'' have stolons (''T. austrina'', ''T. stolonifera'') while two other species have stem leaves (''T. nautila'', ''T. austrina''). Plants from the southern Blue Ridge Mountains and southward have relatively large ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tiarella Cordifolia
''Tiarella cordifolia'', the heart-leaved foamflower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Saxifragaceae. The specific name ''cordifolia'' means "with heart-shaped leaves", a characteristic shared by all taxa of ''Tiarella'' in eastern North America. It is also referred to as Allegheny foamflower, false miterwort, and coolwort. Historically, the name ''Tiarella cordifolia'' has referred to the one and only species of ''Tiarella'' in eastern North America, but in 2021, the species was split into multiple taxa, which caused the name to have a different meaning. For clarity, the qualified name ''Tiarella cordifolia'' sensu stricto (abbreviated s.s.) refers to the new taxon while ''Tiarella cordifolia'' sensu lato refers to the old taxon. ''Tiarella cordifolia'' sensu lato is wide-ranging across eastern North America while ''Tiarella cordifolia'' sensu stricto is narrowly confined to the East Coast of the United States. Cultivars of ''Tiarella'' are valued in horticulture ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tiarella Trifoliata
''Tiarella trifoliata'', the three-leaf foamflower, is a species of flowering plant in the family (biology), family Saxifragaceae. The specific name ''trifoliata'' means "having three leaflets", a characteristic of two of the three recognized varieties. Also known as the laceflower or sugar-scoop, the species is found in shaded, moist woods in western North America. Description ''Tiarella trifoliata'' is a Perennial plant, perennial dicotyledonous herb that flowers in the late spring.

Basal leaf, leaves are 15–80 mm long and up to 120 mm wide, trifoliate or palmately 3- to 5-lobed. Cauline leaves are infrequent and much smaller. The typical variety of ''Tiarella trifoliata'' (var. ''trifoliata'') has Petiole (botany), petiolate leaves with three leaflets per leaf (i.e., trifoliate). The cut-leaved foamflower ( ...

Tiarella Stolonifera
''Tiarella stolonifera'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Saxifragaceae. The specific name ''stolonifera'' means "spreading by stolons", an important characteristic of this species (not to be confused with '' Tiarella austrina'', which also spreads by stolons). Known as the creeping foamflower, it has the widest range of any species of ''Tiarella'' in eastern North America. Description ''Tiarella stolonifera'' is a perennial, herbaceous plant with a short, slender rhizome. It has a leafless flowering stem and relatively small basal leaves without an extended terminal lobe. Most importantly, the species has the ability to produce stolons. The heart-shaped basal leaves of ''Tiarella stolonifera'' resemble those of species in other genera. For example, ''T. stolonifera'' is sometimes confused with '' Mitella diphylla'', a closely-related species that occurs over a similar range and habitat. If a plant lacks sufficient evidence of flowering, the orientation o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tiarella Wherryi
''Tiarella wherryi'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Saxifragaceae. The specific name ''wherryi'' recognizes Edgar Wherry, the botanist who collected some of the first specimens in the early 1930s. Commonly called Wherry's foamflower, it is the southernmost of all species of ''Tiarella'' in the southeastern United States, where its range approaches the Gulf Coast in southern Alabama. Description ''Tiarella wherryi'' is a perennial, herbaceous plant with a short, slender rhizome. It has a leafless flowering stem and relatively large basal leaves, each with an extended terminal lobe. Most importantly, the species lacks the ability to produce stolons. Identification To positively identify ''Tiarella wherryi'', all of the following key features must be verified (in any order): * Stolon always absent * Basal leaves usually longer than wide * Basal leaf lobes usually acute-acuminate with the terminal lobe prominently extended * Flowering stem without leaves or foliac ...

Tiarella Nautila
''Tiarella nautila'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Saxifragaceae. The specific name ''nautila'' alludes to its sail-like stem leaves. Accordingly, it is sometimes called the sail-leaf foamflower. The species is narrowly endemic to the Blue Ridge Mountains in the southeastern United States. Description ''Tiarella nautila'' is a perennial, herbaceous plant with a short, slender rhizome. It has a leafy flowering stem and relatively large basal leaves with an extended terminal lobe.

Tiarella Polyphylla
''Tiarella polyphylla'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Saxifragaceae. The specific name ''polyphylla'' means "many-leaved".

Description ''Tiarella polyphylla'' is a perennial, herbaceous plant with a short, slender rhizome. It has numerous heart-shaped basal leaves, each with a petiole long. There are two or three smaller leaves on the flowering stem. Each flower is small and whitish, with ovate sepals long but with no petals. Taxonomy ''Tiarella polyphylla'' was described by David Don in 1825. Its type specimen was collected by Nathaniel Wallich in Nepal in 1821. The species is relatively constant in morphology and apparently without synonymy. For a long time it was thought that the two North American species (''Tiarella cordifolia'' and ''Tiarella trifoliata'') were more closely related to each other than to ...
