ABSTRACT: Tiarella cordifolia (without stolons) and T. australis (stoloniferous) are sympatric in western McDowell Co., North Carolina, where populations occur in close proximity and overlap in distribution –– a map of the area shows sampled localities. Elsewhere, the two species are allopatric. Tiarella austrina and T. stolonifera appear to have a geographic discontinuity near the Buncombe-Yancey county border, but further study is needed to clarify their distribution and interaction.
