CLASS X. ORDER II.l SAXIFIUGA. 615 



viscid globose glands, as is the tube and pedicles. Petals oblong, 

 obovate, three veined, the lateral veins rarely branched. Stamens with 

 erect simple slender filaments, often reddish. Anthers small, ovate 

 yellow. Styles erect, at length spreading. Stigmas ovate, downy. 

 Capsule large, broadly ovale, two celled, many seeded. 



Habitat. — Near the head of Clova on rocks, Angussbire, Scotland. — 

 Mr. G. Don. 



Perennial ; flowering in May. 



This is much the largest of any British specie in this division of 

 Saxifrages, the flowers are ofien the size of S. granulata. It is readily 

 distinguished from the others by its lanceolate segments of the calyx, 

 being as long as the germen, or longer, and mostly as long as the 

 capsule, and is a much larger plant. 



17. S. muscoi'des, Wulf. (Fig. 699.) Mossy Alpine Saxifrage. 

 Stem ccespitose, densely crowded with simple linear obtuse or three- 

 cleft leaves; flowering stem nearly naked, single flowered, or branched 

 and f«w flowered ; calyx nearly superior, its segments obtuse, rather 

 shorter than the oblong obtuse petals. 



«, microphylla, Gaudin. Leaves smooth, linear, entire, rarely three- 

 cleft; flowering stem short, about three flowered.

Root small, fibrous. Stem very short, crowded in a dense imbri- 

 cated manner with simple linear or wedge-shaped three lobed leaves, 

 deep green, with a roundish obtuse point, single ribbed, divided up- 

 wards into three branches, smooth or fringed, or scattered over with 

 glandular hairs, somewhat fleshy, the branches short, rigid, erect, 

 always with simple linear leaves. Flowering stem erect, mostly scat- 

 tered over with leaves, simple, terminated with a solitary flower, or 

 branched, and about three flowered, more or less clothed with short 

 glandular hairs, as well as the germen and calyx, the bractea short, 

 small, linear. Calyx nearly superior, in five roundish oblong erect or 

 spreading segments. Petals yellowish green, linear, oblong, three 

 ribbed, longer than the calyx. Stamens with simple slender filaments 

 and yellow ovate anthers, of two cells. Styles short, erect, at leDgth 

 spreading. Stigmas ovate, downy. Capsule roundish ovale, two
