The meaning of Saxifraga will be found under 
No. 1000. Ciliata. signifying fringed, alludes to 
the fine hairs on the edges of its leaves. 
Eveijbody knows the Saxifraga crassifolia, it 
being a plant in general cultivation, and found, 
even in cottage gardens, expanding its ample, 
rather fleshy leaves, accomiianied by a lai’ge and 
somewhat clumsy bundle of pale pink flowers. 
The species which we now publish resembles it, 
but is a rather smaller plant, with its panicle of 
flowers, when fully expanded, of a more spreading 
and loose character ; and its flowers clear white. 
Saxifraga ciliata was raised in the garden of the 
London Horticultural Society, from seeds which 
had been received from the Botanical Garden of 
Saharunpur, Hindostan; a garden which, we be- 
lieve, was originally established by the British 
government, more immediately for the cultivation 
of medicinal plants. 
This Saxifrage is less hardy than the old inha- 
bitant of our gardens, first alluded to ; it requires, 
however, merely attention in choosing for it a dry 
situation, and light soil.
