Tiarella (Latin, a little tiara or turban; in reference to the form of the pistil). Saxifragaceae. False Mitrewort. Slender erect hardy perennial herbs, useful for the wild-garden or any shaded spot. Leaves several, radical, long-petioled, simple or 3-foliate: stipules small, adnate to the petiole: raceme terminal, somewhat bracteate, simple or compound: fls. white or reddish; calyx-tube short, lobes 5, ovate; petals 5, entire; stamens 10; ovary superior, compressed, 1-celled: caps. membranaceous, 1-celled, 2- valved. — About 8 species, 1 from Japan, 1 from the Himalayas, the remainder from N. Amer. These plants are little grown, but they are useful for colonizing or perhaps for the rock-garden and are particularly attractive in the autumn on account of their brilliant lf.-coloring. Prop. by division. T. biternata, Vent - Astilbe biternata. CH
