The Hairy alumroot (Heuchera villosa) belongs to Saxifragaceae (the Saxifrage family). It is an evergreen perennial herb that is distributed from Missouri to the eastern United States. It grows in damp, rich forests, rocky slopes, rocky ledges, and cliffs, and is 45 to 90 cm tall. The leaves are round and shallowly divided into 5 to 9 segments. The leaves have wooly hair and feel velvety to the touch. From June to October, it extends a scape and produces a panicle at the tip, with small flowers blooming. The flowers are bell-shaped, closed at the mouth, and cream-colored. The pistils and stamens protrude from the flower crown.
