Saxifraga ligulata, Wall. (Megasea ligulata, Hort. Bergenia ligulata, Engl.). One foot high, stout: radical lvs. large, orbicular or obovate, 2-12 in. diam., base cordate, margins entire but ciliate, both surfaces glabrous: infl. an erect naked scape, this and the pedicels and calyx glabrous: fls. white, rose or purplish, campanulate in nodding 1-sided racemes; calyx-lobes ovate, not narrowed at base; petals 1/3-l in. long, orbicular and clawed: fr. subglobose, cernuous. March-May. Himalayan region. B.M. 3046 ("the sepals too acute and the leaves too undulate," according to Hooker). L.B.C. 8:747. R.H. 1868:270. J.H. III. 69:136. Gn. 62, p. 25; 76, p. 204. —Not perfectly hardy at Boston. Sometimes erroneously written S. lingulata which is a very different species (No. 67).—S. ornata, Decne. (Bergenia ornata, Stein), is said to have large coriaceous, persistent lvs., fleshy sts., and large rose fls. in cymes. Apparently does not possess any character to distinguish it from S. ligulata except the fls. are a shade lighter in color. Var. ciliata, Hook. (S. ciliata, Royle. S. thysanodes, Lindl. S. Stracheyi var. thysanodes, Hort. Megasea ciliata, Haw. M. ligulata var. ciliata, Hort. Bergenia ciliata, Stein). Lvs. hirsute on both surfaces, margins strongly ciliate. B.M. 4915. B.R. 32:33 (as S. thysanodes). G.C. III. 5:365. F.E. 16:472. Var. Leichtlinii, Hort. (S. Leichtlinii, Hort. Megasea Leichtlinii, Hort.). Grows about 1 ft. high and has large crimson lvs. and rose-colored fls. Var. rosea, Hort., is a form with rose-colored fls. Var. rubra, Hort., is an early-flowering, low form with red or red-purple fls. Var. speciosa, Hort. (S. speciosa, Hort., not Doerfl. & Hayek. Megasea speciosa, Hort.). Lvs. broadly ovate, leathery: fls. crimson or deep rosy crimson. Gn. 71, p. 250. J.H. III. 60:393.—By some this is thought to be a garden hybrid S. ligulata x S. crassifolia. CH
