SAXIFRAGACE^E. 87 



This elegant plant is worth the attention of those who love to surround themselves 

 with things of beauty. Plunged into water in a garden-pot, it will continue in blossom 

 for many weeks, care being taken that it be removed originally with a ball of its native 

 earth around its roots. 



EXCLUDED SPECIES. 

 SAXIFRAGA COTYLEDON. Linn. 



"Mr. Wright had seen another Saxifrage, allied to S. Aizoon, 

 wild on rocks at Crossthwaite, Westmoreland, for which he showed 

 me as the same species S. Cotyledon, planted on a wall by Troutheck 

 Bridge. We visited each of these places in vain." — (Borrer, in 

 Pint, Vol. II., 1816, p. 129.) 



SAXIFRAGA ROTUNDIFOLI A. Linn. 



" Was found a few years ago among the rocks in the vale of 

 Newlands (Cumberland), but has since been searched for in vain." 

 (G. S. Gibson, in Phyt., Vol. II., 1816, p. 377.) 



SAXIFRAGA SIBTHORPII. Bow. et Spnm. 



This species, often cultivated in gardens under the name of 

 S. Cymbalaria, was found by Mr. W. Bennett near the Crinan canal, 

 Argyllshire. 



SAXIFRAGA PEDATIFIDA. Sm. 



E. B. 2278. 

 Said to have been found by Mr. Don on rocks by the head of

 by Mr. J. Wynne ; but there seems to be no satisfactory evidence 

 of the latter being the true plant. 



SAXIFRAGA MUSCOIDES. WuJf. 

 E. B. 2314. 

 Said to have been found in Westmoreland and the Highlands of 

 Scotland, but not confirmed by recent observations.
