--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>biennial, sometimes behaving as winter annual, solitary or tufted, not stoloniferous, with caudex. <b>Leaves</b> basal and cauline, (basal persistent, compact); petiole absent (cuneate base ± petiolelike); blade oblanceolate to obovate, (2–)3(–5)-toothed or shallowly lobed apically, rarely unlobed (distal often so), (lobes forwardly directed), (2–)4–15 mm, slightly fleshy, margins entire, stipitate glandular-ciliate, apex obtuse, surfaces glabrate to stipitate-glandular. <b>Inflorescences</b> (2–)6–15(–40)-flowered thyrses, (1–)4–25 cm, densely purple-tipped stipitate-glandular; bracts sessile. <b>Flowers</b>: sepals erect, (usually reddish purple), ovate or triangular to oblong, margins stipitate glandular-ciliate, surfaces stipitate-glandular; petals white, not spotted, obovate to oblanceolate, (2–)3–6 mm, equaling or longer than sepals; ovary inferior. <b>2n</b> = 22.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Although the North American plants of <i>Saxifraga adscendens</i> have been known as <i></i>subsp.<i> oregonensis</i>, expressions of the supposed distinguishing characters appear to overlap completely with the variation found in Europe. The plants produce bulbils on caudices.</p>
