Tiarella, the foamflowers, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Saxifragaceae.[3][4] The generic name Tiarella means "little turban", which suggests the shape of the seed capsules.[5] Worldwide there are seven species, one each in eastern Asia and western North America, plus five species in eastern North America. As of October 2022[update], the taxonomy of Tiarella in eastern North America is in flux.
