Notes: Zhmylev: Saxifraga stellerana is an eastern Siberian arctic-alpine species differing from the closely related S. bronchialis by smaller size of all parts.
Elven: If that is all the difference it should probably not be recognized as species. However, northern Yakutian specimens identified as S. stellerana (2004, O) differ from S. bronchialis.
