Saxifraga rufescens var. flabellifolia C. Y. Wu et J. T. Pan

扇叶虎耳草

Description from Flora of China

Saxifraga flabellifolia Franchet, J. Bot. (Morot) 8: 295. 1894, not R. Brown ex Torrey & A. Gray (1840); S. zhejiangensis Z. Wei & Y. B. Chang.

Leaf blade usually cuneate to truncate at base. Petals 3-5(-8)-veined.

This variety probably deserves recognition at specific rank on account of its very distinctive leaf shape. In that case, the correct name for the taxon would be Saxifraga zhejiangensis.

* Forests, wetlands at sides of valleys, rock crevices; 600-2100 m. NE Sichuan, W Yunnan (Kunming Shi).
