If I am correct in referring this to the G. saxifragoides^ 

 the leaves are sheathing at the base in a very remarkable 

 manner, a circumstance not noticed by the authors above 

 quoted. Flowers yellow.

The description of G. rupicola agrees better with our 

 specimens than does the figure, which represents the flowers 

 too large.
