364 Mr. D. Don's Monograph of the Genus Saxifraga. 



Radix granulata. Catties erecti, palmares v. pedales, te- 

 retes, ramosi, multiflori, pilis viscidis instructi. Folia 

 radicalia reniformia, obtuse crenata, utrinque pilosa, 

 Jonge petiolata : petiolis villis viscidis conferte tectis ; 

 caulina omnia sessilia, inferiora inciso-dentata, superiora 

 ovato-oblonga, integra, in axillis bulbos gerentia. Pe- 

 dunculi elongati, unirlori calycesque pube glutinosa tecti. 

 Flores candidi prrecedente minores. Lacinice calycis tri- 

 angularis vatae, acuta 3 . Petala spathulata, triplinervia : 

 nervis rlexuosis ramosissimis. 



This is undoubtedly the true Linnaean S. bulbifera y which is 

 confined to the southern parts of Europe. It is therefore re- 

 markable, that so accurate an observer as Wahlenberg should 

 have described it as a Lapland plant, nearly related to cernua, if 

 really specifically distinct from that species, which indeed I am 

 rather inclined to doubt. The figure of Flora Danica, quoted by 

 Willdenow and others, belongs evidently to S. cernua. 



19. S. cernua, foliis glabris petiolatis ; radicalibus reniformibus 

 inciso-lobatis ; caulinis palmatis, laciniis calycinis ovatis 

 obtusis, petalis spathulatis emarginatis, caule simplicis- 



simo subunirloro.
