(from chrysos, gold, and splen, the spleen; in reference to the golden colour of the flowers, and the supposed virtue of the plant in diseases of the spleen). Golden Saxifrage. ORD. Saxifrageae. Hardy, perennial herbs. Flowers yellow, somewhat corymbose. Leaves thickish, simple, petiolate, toothed.
