Bolandra (H. N. Bolander, Californian botanist). Saxifragaceae. Two species of small W. American herbs offered for borders and wild gardens. Flowers purplish in lax corymbs; petals 5, inserted on the throat of the 5-lobed calyx ; stamens 5, alternate with petals. Delicate herbs, suitable for rockwork where there is a plentiful supply of moisture. The first-described species, B. californica. Gray, seems not to have been offered in the trade. It is a smaller species, less pubescent with smaller fls., the lower Lvs. round-reniform and 5-lobed: plant 3-12 in. high, the sts. weak and slender.
