SaxTfraoa, Linn. From sarnm, a stone, and /range, 
to break ; its reputed medical qualities in that dis- 
ease. Linn. 10, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Saxifragacece. A 
very extensive gentis of beautiful alpine plants, the 
greater part of which are particularly suitable for 
ornamenting rock-work, or for growing on the sides 
of naked banks. A light sandy soil is best for them ; 
and they are all readily increased by seeds or divi- 
sions. Many of the more rare and tender kinds 
require the protection of a frame in winter, and 
should therefore be grown in pots. Synonymes ; 1.,

mon kind is said to cure that disorder. Linn. 4, 
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Dipsaceae. Some of these plants are 
well adapted for ornamenting the liovver-border. 
The herbaceous kinds are readily increased by 
division at the root, or by seed. The seeds of the 
annual kinds merely require sowing in the open 
border. Synonymes: 1. S. pseud-australis. '2. S.
