Saxifraga burseriana, Linn. Cespitose, 2-4 in. high, with densely imbricate-foliose caudicles: lvs. of the caudicles densely congested, stiff and prickly, fresh gray-green, when old light brown, 3-cornered, linear-subulate, acuminate, stiffly mucronate, 7-pitted (noticeable when old) near the cartilaginous margin, short-fimbriate at the base, crustate with lime when young; cauline lvs. smaller and appressed: infl. usually 1-fld. on glandular-pilose, remotely leafy fl.-sts., these and the calyx frequently dark purple: fls. white, the veins often colored, showy; calyx-lobes ovate, rather acute, tube glandular- hirsute; petals obovate-subrotund, base somewhat clawed, spreading. Jan. to May or June. Mountains of Cent. Eu. G. 1:793; 19:59. G.M.54:103. Gn. 71, p. 187; 74, p. 55; 75, p. 165; 78, p. 116. G.L. 24:44; 25:392. G.C. III. 55:151. J.H. III. 69:137. G.W. 7, p. 433; 12, p. 470.—One of the earliest flowering and one of the most commonly cult. Very variable and the parent of many hybrids. Some of the varieties in cult. are: Var. Boydii, Hort., equals both S. Boydii and S. Boydii var. alba, Var. crenata, Hort., a form with crenate petals, close to var. major. G. 36:289. Var. elegans, Hort., equals S. Irvingii. Var. gloria, Hort., is a large-fld. form with fl.-sts. 1 1/2 in. high: peduncles rich red: fls. pearly white, of a satiny texture, over 1 in. diam.; petals with crimped edges. G. 31:252; 35:177; 36:288. Gn. 78, p. 81. G.M. 50:213. Var. grandiflora, Hort., is practically identical with var. gloria. G.M. 57:185. Var. macrantha, Hort., has minute rosettes which are very dense and form a cushion-like mound: fl.-sts. reddish, 1 in. high: fls. white and saucer-like. April. Var. magna, Hort., is distinguished from var. major by having a very densely tufted habit: lvs. spiny, glaucous: peduncles 3 in. high and 1-fld., reddish: fls. white, more than 1 in. across, even larger than var. gloria. G.C. III. 47:164. Var. magnifica, Hort., grows about 1 1/2-2 in. high with small dense rosettes of subulate gray lvs.: scape 1-fld.: fls. have huge, orbicular petals which are white and deeply crenate and the disk is of a paler yellow than that of var. major. April, May. Gn.W. 20:203; 26:251. Var. major, Hort., is less cushion-like in habit, has pronounced silvery rosettes twice as large as the type, reddish scarlet fl.-sts. 3 in. high, and fls. about 1 in. diam, with crimped white petals. Feb. Austrian Alps. G.C. II. 21:141. G. 31:253. Gn. 63 p. 75. Var. minima, Hort., is said to have diminutive white fls. Var. minor, Hort., is mentioned in connection with S. Paulinae as one of the parents of that hybrid. Var. rosea, Hort., equals S. Irvingii. Var. speciosa, Hort., has bright red scapes bearing solitary fls. which are larger and later than the type; the petals are pure white, broad and almost round. Var. tridentina, Jenkins (var. tridentata, Hort.), is more tufted than var. major, the fl.-sts. more richly scarlet and the fls. less notched at the margins, the petals reflexed, white. Jan., Feb. Dolomites. G. 37:379. CH
