26. SAXIFRAGACE-SJ. (SAXIFRAGE FAMILY.) 



This family is interesting to us as containing a considerable 

 number of our cultivated plants rather than of indigenous ones, 

 of which we have but few representatives. The most important 

 one is the Gooseberry. None of them are harmful. The Hy- 

 drangea, frequent in cultivation, and the Red Currant belong 

 here.
