Saxifraga scardica, Griseb. (S. scarellica, J. Wood). Cespitose. 3-4 in. high, with woody, very densely foliate caudicles: sts. ascending and glandular-pilose: basal lvs. leathery, stiff, light gray-green, pale violet toward the base, oblong acute, spreading, upper surface concave, lower convex-carinate, lower margin indistinctly serrulate or ciliate, upper cartilaginous, entire, when old there are 9-15 pits near the margin; cauline lvs. few, lanceolate, acute, glandular-hirsute except the apical portion, cartilaginous and glandular-hirsute: infl. corymbose, 3-11-fld.: fls. white, ivory-white, or pale rose-red; calyx-lobes ovate, acutish; petals obovate-cuneate, 5-nerved, more than twice the length of the calyx-lobes. June, July. Orient. B.M. 8243. Gn. 65, p. 323; 69, p. 231. S. E. Eu.—Readily distinguished from S. Rocheliana by its keeled and more pointed lvs. The species itself is hard to grow and consequently is rare in cult. The plant grown as S. scardica vera is the true S. scardica, Griseb. G. 34:199. Var. obtusa, Sprague, differs from the type in having subacute to obtuse lower lvs. with fewer pits, fl.-sts. 1-3-fld. and green, and the calyx-lobes obtuse and less pubescent. March. Macedonia. B.M. 8058 (as S. scardica). G. 32:529.
