Sullivantia, commonly called coolwort,[1] is a genus of flowering plants in the saxifrage family. It is a small genus, comprising only 3-4 species of perennial herbs all native to the United States. Sullivantia is most notable for having disjunct distributions primarily restricted to along the Pleistocene glacial margin.[2] All species of Sullivantia are found on moist, often calcareous cliffs.
