Yellowdot Saxifrage (Saxifraga bronchialis L.)

BONAP does not recognize this taxon as valid, and has split it up between four species: Saxifraga austromontana, Saxifraga cherlerioides, Saxifraga funstonii, and Saxifraga vespertina, putting different varieties of S. bronchialis into different species. POWO, on the other hand, accepts this taxon and reports a range consistent with the USDA map, so for now we have retained the USDA's scheme. However, POWO also accepts those four species, which the USDA does not, and furthermore POWO reports similar ranges to what BONAP reports for those species; this is puzzling and we have not yet examined or resolved this inconsistency.
