The gross morphology of Saxifraga wallichiana sometimes approaches that of S. brachypoda, especially in the Himalayas, but the former species is distinguished from the latter by the presence of petal callosities. Therefore, the two species are kept separate in the present account. Both Chinese and Nepalese S. wallichiana have petals 2-callose. The petal margin is different (entire in Chinese plants, very finely laciniate in Nepalese plants), but plants from the two countries cannot be distinguished by other characters.
