Saxifraga spathularis, the St Patrick's cabbage,[1] is a species of saxifrage native to Ireland, Portugal, and Spain . It is a member of the so-called Lusitanian flora, a small set of plants which are native to Ireland but inexplicably absent from Great Britain. It consists of a basal rosette of elongate obovate succulent leaves around an upright leafless flowering stem. It seems to grow best in humus-rich alpine habitats among acidic rocks.[2] With Saxifraga umbrosa it is a parent of Saxifraga × urbium (London pride).
