preside, cee desirable, it is not easy to make a sent ee We 
have included the best-known forms in the following list, but it must 
not be supposed that non-inelusion implies unsuitability for the gardener’s 
purposes. 
SAXIFRAGA AIZOIDES (Aizoon-like). Stems tufted, first erect, then 
falling prostrate ; branched and leafy, often forming large green cushion- 
like masses. Leaves very narrow oblong; lower leaves crowded, those 
on flowering stems scattered and more slender. Flowers, half an inch 
across, golden yellow with red dots; June and July. Native. 
S. A1zoon (always living). Stems 5 to 10 inches, erect. Radical 
leaves clustered, thick, spoon-shaped, the toothed margins white and 
cartilaginous. Flowers creamy, spotted at base, on a many-flowered 
scape that is covered with sticky down; June. There are many natural 
varieties of this species. 
S. BURSERIANA (Burser’s). Densely tufted, very dwarf. Leaves 
forming a rosette, three-edged, sharply pointed, glaucous. Flowers 
solitary, large, milk-white with yellowish nerves ; edges of petals curled 
back ; March to June. 
S. casIA (grey). Stems 1} to 3 inches high. Radical leaves very 
slender, keeled below, margined with dots above; forming rosettes. 
Stem-leaves few. Flowers white, in small panicles; petals clawed; 
. May and June. 
‘ _§. casprrosa (tufted). Flowering stems 3 inches high; flowerless 
ones 1 inch, densely tufted. Leaves wedge-shaped, three- to five-lobed. 
Flowers bell-shaped, white ; July and August. <A native plant, in all 
probability a merely extreme member of the 
varieties of S. hypnoides. 
S. Campostt (Don P. del Campos’). Stems 3 to 6 inches. Leaves 
variable, more or less fan-shaped, three- to five-lobed, lobes with three or 
more teeth. Flowers white, two-thirds of an inch in diameter ; petals 
Spoon-shaped; May. Better known in gardens as S. Wallacei. 
S. corTusaron1a (Cortusa-like leaved). Stemless. Leaves all
