Bulblet Saxifrage / Saxifraga cernua

This was a new plant for me, found growing on Plateau Mountain, way south of Highway 40 in Kananaskis, on July 31st. This was such an enjoyable place to spend a day of botanizing.

Also known as Drooping Saxifrage or Nodding Saxifrage, it grows to 10–20 cm tall, the stem having 3–7 leaves. The basal and lower stern leaves are kidney-shaped, 3–5 lobed on long petioles. The flowers are mostly single, terminal, petals white, much longer than the sepals. Reproduction by means of brownish-red bulbils in the axils of the upper stern leaves. This plant grows in moist sandy and mossy places, on ledges and in snow beds.
