from which arises a flower-scape. Some of these forms 

 are very interesting because of the vari-colored or sil- 

 very effect produced by natural incrustations of lime on 

 the leaves, particularly on the leaf-edges. Give shade. 



Most Saxifrages make stolons and offshoots freely, 

 and by these the plants are easily propagated ; they are 

 also increased by division. Sunn- make bulliltts.
