    Could anyone help identify this flower. It was found amongst other wildflowers on a fairly moist ridge above Nanaimo. I only have a photo of the flower at this time. Thanks., Robin

    Maybe S. rufidula?

    Hi David,
    Yes, I think you are correct on the genus Saxifraga - thank you. The photos in the books I have don't offer a very close-up view of the plant but on researching it further, it appears to be the integrifolia species which is very close to the rufidula species that you suggested.

    Your thoughts appreciated., thanks, Robin
