two yellowish spots near the claw.  Calyz-segments not re- 
flexed. Pollen red. Capsule two-celled, in each cell are 
two contiguous linear receptacles, one on each side of the 
line of dehiscence. 
34. Saxifraga tridactylites.—Anglesea, May 8, 1828.—If the 
germen be really inferior in this, and the similarly constituted 
species, how can the calyx be termed monophyllous? I would 
rather think it 5-leaved, even when the germen is superior.— 
Seeds not very evidently angular, but with a prominent line 
on one síde, striated and somewhat dotted, not compressed, 
rather larger at the upper end. When growing on sunny 
limestone cliffs, this plant is altogether of a bright red colour, 
and is then very elegant. 
35, 36. Saxifraga muscoides and pygmea.—Not having seen 
Specimens of either, I can only venture to suspect that these 
are but varieties of one species; certainly there is nothing in 
the characters or descriptions of Eng. Fl. to justify their 
separation. Moreover, I consider that there is nothing 
but the superior calyx which can permanently distinguish 
we from S. cespitosa. 
87. Saxifraga cespitosa.— T wll dá, 1825.—Examined 17th 
dish. 1829.—I approve of the description in Eng. Fl., and 
at present am inclined to believe it a distinct species. . In my 
specimens, the radical leaves are 8- or 5-cleft, some of them 
entire; those of the short lateral shoots entire or 3-cleft; 
the shoots are so very short as to be almost undiscoverable, 
and the ffowering-stems were consequently almost contiguous. 
Petals very small, hardly twice as long as the segments of the 
calyx, 3-ribbed. It was very scarce, and I could find only 
two small roots, from which I obtained about 6 fowering 
specimens. A root of Sazifrage, brought from Snowdon in 
1820, (by my brother,) which has hitherto been considered 
as S. palmata, I find, on examination, to answer very exactly 
to S. cespitosa £. of Eng. Fl. and agreeing also with what is 
there said of the cultivated plant from Brandon mountain. 
The Snowdon plant has acquired by culture rather long prò- _ 
cumbent shoots, the leaves of which are all 3-lobed, never 
5-lobed, unless just below tbe flowering-stems; the lobes
