Chondrosea
Morphological Summary
Genus of succulent or semi-succulent plants of the Saxifragaceae family, corresponding to section Aizoon of Saxifraga in most modern treatments (APG IV). Species form compact rosettes of coriaceous or fleshy leaves frequently with calcareous incrustations on the margins. Distributed across European mountains (Alps, Pyrenees, Apennines, Carpathians) and Mediterranean regions. Most grow in limestone rock crevices. The name Chondrosea was established by Haworth. Many species were described by Jordan & Fourreau in the mid-19th century.
