10. SAXIFRAGA. 
20. S. oppositifolia. 
This is found upon mountains throughout Europe; on the 
Pyrenees, in Switzerland, Britain, Lapland, Siberia, Iceland

abundant at Igloolik and other places visited by Captain Parry 
in the second expedition under his command: Baffin’s Bay. 
22. S. flagellaris.
