Heuchera caroliniana, the Carolina alumroot, is a species of flowering plant in the family Saxifragaceae, native to the US states of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.[1] Split off from Heuchera americana, which it closely resembles, it is found the northwestern and west-central Piedmont, where H. americana is largely absent.[2] It grows in rich upland woods on base-saturated substrates, basic dikes, and basic rock outcroppings.[3]
