4. Tufted
Saxifrage
(Saxifraga c¦spitosa L.)
|
As
a British wild plant the tufted saxifrage is quite rare and is
eagerly sought by botanists on the mountains of Scotland and North
Wales. In old plants the foliage forms a compact cushion from
which the flowering stems arise during May and June. Their maximum
height is about three inches and each stem carries about one or
two small white five-petalled flowers.
