Saxifraga scardica Griseb.
Taxon info
Saxifraga scardica is a Balkan endemic, locally extending southwards to Chelmos, Killini and mountains of C Evvia, forming dense cushions or mats on rocky limestone slopes. It is related to S. marginata, differing in the acute, keeled leaves with scabrid upper margins. The specific epithet alludes to Scardus or Šar Planina, a large mountain range on the border of F. Y. R. Makedonija and Kosovo. It was one of the many discoveries by Grisebach (cf. Plate 22: 4) in this area.A
