Saxifraga crustata

Saxifraga crustata, the crusted-leaved saxifraga and silver saxifrage, as well as encrusted saxifrage, is an evergreen perennial plant species in the family Saxifragaceae, native to the Eastern Alps. This species was described by Austrian botanist Lorenz Chrysanth von Vest in 1804.

Etymology
While the genus name refers to the plant's ability to erode and break rocks while growing and spreading around (hence saxum means "rock" and frangere is translated as "to break" from Latin), its species' name comes from the Latin term crustatus or "encrusted", referring to the plant's shiny green leaves that have their surface covered with drops of crusty lime, secreted from special pores, located on the leaf margins. == Description ==
