SAXIFRAGA MINUTISSIMA, A NEW SPECIES FROM THE GARHWAL HIMALAYA, INDIA, AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE TAXONOMY OF THE GENUS SAXIFRAGA (SAXIFRAGACEAE) by R. J. Gornall, D. S. Rawat and Zhuoxin Zhang- Edinburgh Journal of Botany / Volume 69 / Issue 02 /  June 2012, pp 211-217- 
Abstract Saxifraga minutissima D.S.Rawat, a new and extremely small species of Saxifraga (Saxifragaceae), is described from the Garhwal Himalaya, India. It differs from all other species of Saxifraga, except Saxifraga bicuspidata, in having five stamens and lacking petals. It can be distinguished from Saxifraga bicuspidata in having leaves and sepals entire. The finely striate pollen exine pattern of Saxifraga minutissima indicates that the species belongs to Saxifraga section Ciliatae. Its prostrate, axillary leafy shoots and lack of crisped, rufous hairs strongly suggests a place in Saxifraga subsection Serpyllifoliae, where one of its closest relatives may be Saxifraga stella-aurea.

An Overview of genus Saxifraga L. in Indian Himalayas – Ebioscholar by Priyanka Agnihotri and Tariq Husain, Annals of Plant Sciences, 2013, 02 (08), 278-283,
(Abstract: The paper deals with the enumeration of genus Saxifraga in Indian Himalayan region. A total of 64 species with 4 sub-species and 5 varieties have been recorded from Indian Himalayas, out of which 23 are confined to Western Himalaya and 17 are found in Eastern Himalaya, while 40 are common in both the areas. The maximum diversity has been observed between 4000-4500m. asl. The genus forms the group of sub-nival vegetation and are inhabitant of one of the most fragile ecosystem of Himalaya, the hot spot of biodiversity and it is urgently needed to document the diversity in the natural habitat and assess the conservation status of the taxa of the genus Saxifraga L.)

Beautiful pictures; never seen before.

what will be the magnification of these images?

…, you can find the details on the image itself.
For example, image # 1 is 70 times (labeled as x70) and image # 4 is 1500 times (x1,500) magnified.

Saxifraga (Saxifragaceae‎) : 1 post by 1 author.

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Saxifraga (Pl. click).

Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.

Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.

If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful.
Any comments/ corrections are welcome.

I am looking for a publication from KU on Saxifraga-

and not able to see it with my sources.
Can you please help in by sending pdf/ images of pages of this important paper. I hope you may have access to this publication.
