Heuchera hirsutissima is a species of flowering plant in the saxifrage family known by the common name shaggy-haired alumroot. It is endemic to the San Jacinto Mountains of Riverside County, California, where it grows on rocky slopes between 4,000 and 10,000 ft. While uncommon in the wild and normally found at higher elevations, this species is cultivated as an attractive garden flower and can be used at lower elevations. This is a rhizomatous perennial herb with small, lobed, rounded leaves. It produces an erect, hairy flower cluster which bears light pink flowers.
