AI overview
Saxifraga is a large group of about 473 plant species found across the Northern Hemisphere, commonly called saxifrages or rockfoils. The name comes from Latin words meaning "stone-breaker," which likely refers to its historical use as a medicine to treat kidney and bladder stones rather than any actual rock-breaking ability.
