Mitella (diminutive of mitra, a cap; applied to the form of the young pod). Saxifragaceae. Mitre- Wort. Bishop's-cap. Low slender perennials, with somewhat creeping rootstocks and racemes of small and greenish or white flowers, sometimes planted in shady places. Closely related to Tiarella, but the petals of the latter are entire, while in Mitella they are pinnatifid: lvs. round, heart-shaped, mostly alternate, on rootstock or runners, with slender petioles; those on flowering sts. opposite, if any; calyx short. 5-lobed, the lobes valvate in the bud, spreading; petals 5, inserted on throat of calyx, very slender; stamens 10 or 5, very short: fr. soon widely dehiscent. A few natives of N. Amer., 2 species in E. Asia. — Offered by some dealers in native plants.
