Saxifraga flagellaris, the whiplash saxifrage or flagellate saxifrage,[1] is a plant native all over the Eurasian Arctic Coast, Siberia, Far East, Caucasus and some areas of northern Rocky Mountains.
The stems are single, erect and leafy, growing to 3–10 cm tall.
The basal leaves in a dense rosette from which long, filiform runners radiate ending in a small, rooting offset; they also have glandular hairs on the margins.
Each stem usually has one terminal flower, rarely two, with golden yellow petals, much longer than the calyx lobes.
It grows in moist places, on gravel or in moss carpets.
