Darmera peltata, the Indian rhubarb or umbrella plant, is a flowering plant, the only species within the genus Darmera in the family Saxifragaceae. [2] It is a slowly spreading rhizomatous perennial native to mountain streamsides in woodland in the western United States (western Oregon to northwestern California), growing to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) tall by 1 m (3 ft 3 in) wide.
Saxifraga is the largest genus in the family Saxifragaceae, containing about 473 species of holarctic perennial plants, known as saxifrages [1] [2] or rockfoils. [3] The Latin word saxifraga means literally "stone-breaker", from Latin saxum ("rock" or "stone") + frangere ("to break").

In addition to rocks, occasional growth on submerged wood or aquatic plant stems, such as Darmera peltata, has also been documented. [13] The lobes, typically medium-sized and up to 1 cm (3 ⁄ 8 in) wide, exhibit pronounced veining, a characteristic feature that aids in structural integrity under submerged conditions. [11]
