Saxifraga lingulata, Bell. Fig. 3561. One to 2 ft. high with ascending branched caudicles which are covered with appressed vestiges of lvs. and form a cespitose clump: sts. erect or ascending, usually glabrous or sometimes sparsely glandular-pilose, leafy: basal lvs. numerous and rosulate, sulcate above, usually linear-spatulate and rather acute, somewhat ciliate, margin erose-crenulate and crustate with lime; cauline lvs. shorter, the margin cartilaginous and less crustate: infl. a thyrsoid panicle from the middle of the scape or above, the branches slender, corymbose-paniculate at their tip, 3-5-fld., very often secund: fls. small, white; calyx glabrous, the lobes ovate or oblong, very obtuse; petals obovate or obovate-oblong, attenuate toward the base, 3-nerved, 2 or 3 times longer than the calyx-lobes. June, July. S. Eu. B.M. 8434. Gn. 79, p. 188. G.C. III. 49:65, note.—A variable species requiring lime and good drainage. Var. Alberti, Hort. (S. Alberti, Regel & Schmalh.), is probably a hybrid: it has much larger rosettes and the infl. is more spreading: fls. white, heavily spotted red. Turkestan. Var. australis, Engl. (S. australis, Moric.). usually has longer and broader spatulate lvs. which are nearly flat on the top. Italy and Sicily. Var. Bellardii, Hort., equals the type. G.C. III. 54:135. Var. lantoscana, Engl. (S. lantoscana, Boiss. & Reut.). Lvs. short, blunt, spatulate, more or less attenuate at the base but not so at the apex; margin narrowly crustate. Maritime Alps. G. C. II. 15:109. Gn. 64, p. 61; 73, p. 55. Minor forms of this variety are cult., as S. lantoscana erecta, having pure white fls., and S. lantoscana superba, having arching plumes of creamy white fls. larger than those of the variety proper.
