|discussion=<p><i>Heuchera richardsonii</i> intergrades with <i>H. americana</i> where their ranges overlap in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, and Oklahoma; the intergrading form is recognized here as <i>H. americana </i>var.<i> hirsuticaulis</i>.</p><!--
--><p><i>Heuchera</i> hispida (<i>H. americana </i>var.<i> hispida</i> here; see thereunder) was confused with <i>H. richardsonii</i> for almost a hundred years, until C. O. Rosendahl et al. (1933) pointed out that the plants from the Midwest then passing as <i>H. hispida</i> Pursh were distinct from Pursh’s species and were <i>H. richardsonii</i>.</p><!--
--><p>The Blackfoot, Cree, Lakota, and Woodlands Indians used decoctions and infusions of the roots of <i>Heuchera richardsonii</i> for diarrhea and as an eyewash, and the Lakota applied a poultice of powdered roots to sores (D. E. Moerman 1998).</p>
