SAXIFRAGA AIZOON oN Mr. Kraapn.—On August 17, 1923, eight 
members of the Appalachian Mountain Club made the ascent of the 
Chimney on Mt. Ktaadn, Maine. On starting up a steep bank to 
avoid climbing in the brook, the writer came upon several colonies of 
Saxifraga Aizoon Jacq. The plants looked like some sort of cactus 
and quite out of place in that cold ravine. Although they seemed 
thrifty, there was no sign of any flowers, old or young. The larger 
plants had sent out new ones on runners so that when I attempted to 
gather a specimen, many others came up with it. This Saxifrage is 
a plant commonly of calcareous regions, but Ktaadn is granitic. 
The specimens collected, which are the first from Maine, are in the 
Gray Herbarium. 
There was colony after colony of Saxifraga stellaris L. var. comosa 
Willd. all the way to the top of the Chimney. We found it also near 
the top of the west wall of the Great Basin.—Racnkn L. Lowe, 
Portland, Maine. 
Vol. 26, no. 306, including pages 113 to 132 and plate 144, was issued 5 July, 
1924. 
The date of the July issue (unpublished as this goes lo press) will be announced 
later.
