|discussion=<p>The geographic range of <i>Heuchera caroliniana</i> is contiguous with and appears to be a southern extension of that of <i>H. pubescens</i>. <i>Heuchera americana </i>var.<i> americana</i> occurs in counties adjacent to the range of <i>H. caroliniana</i> but they are sympatric only along the boundary; intergradation between the two is infrequent. Mixed populations of <i>H. caroliniana</i> and <i>H. americana </i>var.<i> americana</i> have not been seen.</p>
