Saxifragaceae plants belong to the Saxifragales order in the Plantae kingdom. Leaf buds growing in the leaf axils are at least as long as the leaves that protect them, a feature that distinguishes this species from the similar rough saxifrage, Saxifraga aspera. For instant identification, use the iNature app — AI-powered and works offline.
Saxifragaceae is classified in the order Saxifragales, class Magnoliopsida, phylum Tracheophyta. These key features are similar to those of Tiarella nautila, but the presence of a stolon rules out Tiarella nautila.
