Alpine Alumroot, Alpine Heuchera, Smooth Alumroot
Heuchera glabra
-
The photo above shows the dorsal leaf surface
of smooth alumroot. Note the lack of hairs on the petioles, which helps identify
this species from small-flowered alumroot (H. micrantha). Found
in cracks in the near vertical cliffs along the gravelled section of Rd 23 high
above the Lewis River in the Gifford Pinchot NF.............July 25, 2005.
