Heuchera cylindrica
Also called Poker Alumroot, Mat Alumroot, Alpine Alumroot, Lava Alumroot, Round Leaved Alumroot
Heuchera cylindrica is a species of perennial flowering plant in the saxifrage family known by the common names poker alumroot, roundleaf alumroot, and coral bells. It is native to western North America, where it is found from British Columbia to California, and east to Wyoming and Montana.
Heuchera cylindrica is native to rocky areas in the woods, cliff-side ledges, slopes and sub-alpine meadows in the Pacific Northwest. It prefers soil rich in humus, that receives plenty of moisture, but is well drained. It can thrive in sunny or partly shady habitats. The species is widespread and locally common, so it is considered ecologically secure.
