Saxifraga oppositifolia, Linn. (Antiphylla oppositifolia, Small). Caudicles procumbent and much branched, 6-8 in. long, the branches densely cespitose, the flowering ones erect, about 6 in. high at most, glabrous and 1-fld.: lvs. opposite, stiff, dark green, gray-tipped, the lower and those of the sterile branches imbricate in 4 rows, the upper rather remote, oblong or obovate, apex spreading-recurved, obtuse, thickened, 1-3-pitted, 3-cornered-carinate below: fls. showy, violet or lilac, sometimes rose-purple, terminal; calyx-lobes ovate, obtuse; petals obovate-oblong, 5-nerved, 3 times as long as the calyx-lobes. March-June, rarely Aug. Rocks, alpine and boreal parts of Eu., Asia, and N. Amer., south to Gulf of St. Lawrence, mountains of N. Vt., Mont., and Idaho. L.B.C. 9:869. G.C. 111.49:117. Gn. 71, p. 179; 76, p. 603: 78, p. 57.—An excellent little rock-plant, making a sedum-like mat, the foliage of a purplish cast. Many variations in cult. Var. alba, Hort., has a compact habit, very dark green lvs., and starry white fls. Var. coccinea, Hort., has fls. of a richer shade of purple than the type. Var. grandiflora, Hort., is a form with elongated branches larger, obovate-rotund petals which are attenuate only at the clawed base and 7-9-nerved: the fls. are large and rosy purple. Pyrenees. Var. Latina, Farrer (S. Latina, Hayek), is a form with very small compact foliage and good-sized, soft rosy purple fls. whose petals are obovate, rather acute, and 5-nerved. Italy. Var. major, Hort., has creeping, rooting sts., tiny rosettes of deep green lvs., and many fls. of a rich crimson-red. This is considered by some to be identical with var. pyrenaica or very nearly so. Var. pyrenaica, Hort., is a robust very free-growing form, with large crimson fls. A form of this variety with very large rosy lilac fls. and a rather erect habit, said to come from the mountains of Wales, is cult. under the name of S. pyrenaica superba. G.C. II. 21:419. Var. Rudolphiana, Kittel (S. Rudolphiana, Hornsh.), a form with short branches, forming small, very dense tufts: upper lvs. and calyx-lobes glandular-ciliate: sts. short and more or less erect: fls. terminal and erect; petals obovate, 3-5-nerved. Austrian Alps. Var. speciosa, Farrer, has a stouter and bolder habit and foliage than other forms of the species and has very large pale rose fls. showing very little tendency toward the magenta. Var. splendens, Hort. (S. spuria var. splendens, Hort.), is a form with large fls. of a very bright purplish crimson or intense rose-purple, which are produced very freely in March. Wales.—This will grow well on a north exposure. It is also grown under the name of var. pyrenaica splendens.
