In the southern hemisphere they seem to be known only in South Amer- ica. The Saxifrages are , mostly perennial, with perfect small white, yellow or purplish flowers in pani- cles or corymbs; calyx with 5 lobes; petals 5, usually equal; stamens mostly 10, in some species only 5; styles 2; fr. a 2-beaked or 2-divided capsule, or some- tinifs the capsules nearly or quite separate at maturity, with numerous seeds. See Engler, " jMonugraphie der Gattung Saxifraga," 1872. Saxifrages are various in habit and stature, but they are mostly low aud spreading with rosulate or tufted root-leaves. Most of the species in cultivation are grown as rock-garden plants, although the large-leaved mem- bers of the Megasea or Bergenia section are sometimes used as border plants. Owing to the small attention given to rock and alpine gardening in America, the Sax- are little known to our horticulturists. Most of them are abundantly hardy as to f
