There are 10 tribes defined in [Folk et al. 2021] but I thought I'd start with Heuchereae since it will be immediately useful.
Thank you for the information.
I have sorted Saxifragaceae into tribes now.
I dont know where Tetilla actually belongs to, according to POWO it is a Saxifragaceae but it might also belong to Francoaceae according to other sources..
Thanks @kai_schablewski The observation counts on the taxon page are incorrect. Does that just take time or is there something else amiss?
@trscavo sometimes they correct themselves, sometimes they never correct. The sections of Uvularia have finally updated observation counts (after a year), but still display the wrong identifier count next to my name, among other things.
@trscavo If you move larger genera with more than 1000 observations the system needs some time. Thats normal.
Tetilla does not belong in Saxifragaceae. Interesting catch, POWO isn't right.
I think POWO probably used old data. I've now moved the genus to the Francoaceae family.

👍
I think I can close this flag now although there are maybe some minor changes left on the genus- or species level.
Tribe Heuchereae would be very useful since there are numerous look-alike species in family Saxifragaceae. For example, there are various species of Tiarella, Mitella, and Heuchera with heart-shaped leaves, which makes those species difficult to distinguish.
Please add tribe Heuchereae, which includes the following genera:
Tiarella
Spuriomitella
Elmera
Mitellastra
Conimitella
Ozomelis
Tolmiea
Pectiantia
Tellima
Asimitellaria
Bensoniella
Brewerimitella
Mitella
Lithophragma
Heuchera
It's probably best to align genus Mitella with POWO before adding this tribe.
