aizoides, L. Aizoon-like Saxifraga. 



Wet cliffs on the east branch of Fish cfeek. Discovered many years ago, by 

 Knieskern and Vasey. at its lowest station between the Railroad and Taberg, 

 on an upright rocky side, wet by a brook pouring over into the creek; in 

 company with Primula mistassinica. Here, however, there are only a few 

 plants, on the space of a few square feet, wanderers from the multitude 

 above. The creek comes from the north for many miles through a deep ravine, 

 and, flowing from one side to the other, causes upright rocky precipices, 

 which vary in height from fifty to one hundred and twenty-five, and in length 

 from one hundred to one thousand feet. The woods still remain above, so 

 that these precipices are always wet with dripping water. On these cold wet 

 rocks, in shade or looking towards the north, the Yellow Mountain Saxifrage 

 abounds, frequently in mats. It bears many flowers, and the golden clusters, 

 visible at a distance, may be found in June. Local.
