- Cover photo description:
- Yellow mountain-saxifrage almost always grows in the company of butterwort and birds-eye primrose. All three of them prefer the cold, wet, shale cliff environment. The genus name Saxifraga is a combination of the words saxum, a stone, and frangere, to break, referring to the granular bulblets of European plants which were supposed to dissolve kidney stones. The species name comes from its resemblance to the succulent plants of the genus Aizoon of the old world. Name also: Yellow Saxifrage, Evergreen Saxifrage Family: Saxifrage Family – Saxifragaceae Growing form: Perennial herb. Loosely tufted–occasionally forms stands. Height: 5–15 cm 2–6 in.. Stem ascending, abundantly leaved.

Sepals 5, narrow, glabrous, with membranous margin. Stamens 10, yellow. Styles 2, fused at base. Inflorescence a 1–2-flowered corymb. Leaves: Alternate, stalkless. Blade narrowly lanceolate–linear, bristle-tipped, with entire margins or sometimes with sparse, small teeth, sparsely ciliate, fleshy, light green–reddish.
