84; see text Chrysosplenium (golden saxifrage or golden-saxifrage) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Saxifragaceae.

[3] They are soft herbaceous perennial plants growing to 20 centimeters tall, typically in wet, shady locations in forests.

The leaves are rounded, palmately veined, with a lobed margin and arranged either alternately or opposite, depending on the species.

Most of the growth and flowering is in early spring, when more light is available under deciduous trees.

[2] The leaves and stems of golden saxifrage (C. alternifolium and C. oppositifolium) can be eaten in salads or as cooked greens.
