all parts of the Alps, and is also met with in the Arctic 

 regions. 



With the help of the photograph no difficulty should be 

 experienced in recognising the plant. From the Stonecrops, 

 notably the Biting Stonecrop (Sedum acre), it is recognised 

 by its possession of two styles. But several of the other 

 Saxifrages resemble it much more closely. The Rough 

 Saxifrage (S. aspera) has paler flowers and more hairy leaves. 

 The Moss-like Saxifrage (S. bryoides) has a moss-like growth 

 and the flowers are borne on long, usually unbranched, 

 flower stalks. Saxifraga Sequieri has more flattened leaves, 

 and Saxifraga Hirculus, which is rare, has two raised spots at 

 the base of each yellow petal.
