Cardamine maxima is a member of the Cardamine concatenata alliance, a monophyletic group of eastern North American species that includes Cardamine angustata , Cardamine concatenata , Cardamine diphylla , Cardamine dissecta , Cardamine incisa , and Cardamine maxima. [11] All members of the alliance were previously placed in genus DentariaTourn. ex L., which is now considered to be a synonym for CardamineL. [12]
Cardamine maxima is native to eastern North America. Its range extends north to New Brunswick and Québec, south to Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and west to Ontario and Wisconsin. [11] It is known to occur in the following provinces and states: [3] [13]
In the United States, its distribution is centered in New York and western New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont). [14]
The global conservation status of Cardamine maxima is secure (G5). [1] However, outside of New York (its center of distribution) it is uncommon (S3) at best.
Trillium erectum, the red trillium, also known as wake robin, purple trillium, bethroot, or stinking benjamin, is a species of flowering plant in the family Melanthiaceae.

It is native to the eastern United States and eastern Canada from northern Georgia to Quebec and New Brunswick.

As of October 2022, the taxonomy of Tiarella in eastern North America is in flux.
