PHYTOGRAPHIC NOTES AND AMENDMENTS.—II. 
By Epwarp L. GREENE. 
THE genus LirnoparacMa (Nutt. in Torr. & Gray, Fl. i. 
584) rests upon as good a combination of characters as any 
of the saxifrageous genera that are not monotypical. The 
herbarium botanist can not know how strong a character it 
has in its corolla, the two upper petals of which are smaller 
than the others, and usually entire, while the other three 
are variously cleft; though none are pinnatifid. In habit, the 
plants are all farther removed from Yellima than they are 
from typical Saxifraga itself. 
The species not yet named under LITHOPHRAGMA are the 
following: 
L. seabrella. Tellima scabrella, Greene, Pitt. ii. 162: Fl. 
Fr. 193. 
L. tripartita. Tellima tripartita, Greene, Eryth. i. 106 
(1893). 
L. Williamsii. Heuchera Williamsi, D. C. Eaton, Bot. 
Gaz. xv. 62 (1890). Tellima nudicaulis, Greene, Pitt, ii- 
162 (1891). 
The following appears to be quite new: 
L. rupicola. Stems often 2 or 3 from the small grumous 
root, not very slender, a foot high or more, rather strongly 
hispidulous-scabrous throughout: lowest leaves from round- 
reniform to round-ovate in outline, deeply 3 to 5-lobed, the 
lobes again 3-lobed; petioles long, each with a large bulblet 
in its axil; cauline leaves of more angular outline, doubly 
cleft into narrow segments: raceme elongated, 12 to 20- 
flowered; fruiting pedicels nearly twice the length of the 
calyx: hemispherical base of the calyx adherent to the 
ovary, the body in maturity obviously 10-striate, the lobes 
short and obtuse: petals white, all deeply palmatifid, the 2
