Observing and identifying Foamflowers in eastern North America

In the iNaturalist interface, the name Heartleaf Foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia) refers to a species of flowering plant narrowly confined to the eastern United States, from Maryland to Georgia. If your observation is outside of this region, it is probably not Tiarella cordifolia. iNaturalist recognizes five species of Foamflowers (Tiarella) in eastern North America, widely ranging from northeastern Canada to the southeastern United States. For more information, see:

Tips for observers and identifiers are included, plus detailed information about the geographical distribution of Tiarella.

At this point, there are enough observations of each species so that a heat map might be instructive. iNaturalist has two mapping options (that I'm aware of), a taxa map and a compare map. Enjoy!

The maps are great! I can see applications for violet species among others. Thank you.
