Boykinia Richardsonii
''Boykinia richardsonii'' is a species of flowering plant in the ''Saxifragaceae'' family, endemism, endemic to Alaska and the adjacent Canadian territory of Yukon. It is commonly known as Richardson's brookfoam, but has also been called Alaska boykin, bearflower, Richardson's boykin and Richardson's saxifrage. "Bearflower" reflects its popularity with grizzly bears as forage in the summer months when it flowers. The species is named for Scottish naturalist John Richardson (naturalist), John Richardson, who first identified it on his mid-1820s exploration of the western Canadian Arctic coast with John Franklin. William Jackson Hooker first described it in ''Flora Boreali-Americana'', the 1833 account of plant species identified on that expedition. It was originally misclassified as part of the genus ''Saxifraga''. ''Boykinia richardsonii'' is believed to have evolved in temperate Arctic forests of the Neogene, or Late Tertiary, period and survived through the ensuing glacial peri ...

Boykinia Rotundifolia
''Boykinia rotundifolia'' is an uncommon species of flowering plant in the Saxifragaceae, saxifrage family known by the common name roundleafed brookfoam. It is Endemism, endemic to Southern California, where it grows in shady forested areas near streams in the mountains. Description ''Boykinia rotundifolia'' is a rhizome, rhizomatous perennial herb producing leaves with blades up to 30 centimeters long, borne on Petiole (botany), petioles up to 18 centimeters in length. Each leaf has several rounded lobes with dull teeth along the edges. The inflorescence reaches up to a meter (3 ft.) tall on a thin stem. It bears a dense array of many small white flowers, each with five tiny pointed sepals and five larger oval petals.

Boykinia Aconitifolia
''Boykinia aconitifolia'', also known as Brook saxifrage and Allegheny brookfoam, is a species of vascular plant in the genus Boykinia. It is native to the southeastern region of the United States, ranging from West Virginia to Alabama and Georgia. It grows in wet woodlands, on the edges of ponds and lakes, or in other moist areas, flowering in the summer. It has both basal and cauline leaves, with petioles three to eighteen centimeters long. Leaves are generally reniform, but can be orbiculate to cordate with three to seven lobes. The seeds are black with tubercle In anatomy, a tubercle (literally 'small tuber', Latin for 'lump') is any round nodule, small eminence, or warty outgrowth found on external or internal organs of a plant or an animal.

Boykinia Intermedia
''Boykinia intermedia'' is a plant species native to northwestern Oregon and Washington. Some publications reported the species from northern Idaho as well, but these citations appear to have been based in misidentified specimens. The species grows in forests, on stream banks and lake sides at elevations up to 700 m.

Saxifragaceae
Saxifragaceae is a family of herbaceous perennial flowering plants, within the core eudicot order Saxifragales. The taxonomy of the family has been greatly revised and the scope much reduced in the era of molecular phylogenetic analysis. The family is divided into ten clades, with about 640 known species in about 35 accepted genera. About half of these consist of a single species, but about 400 of the species are in the type genus ''Saxifraga''. The family is predominantly distributed in the northern hemisphere, but also in the Andes in South America. Description Species are herbaceous perennials (rarely annual or biennial), sometimes succulent or xerophytic, often with perennating rhizomes. The leaves are usually basally aggregated in alternate rosettes, sometimes on inflorescence stems. They are usually simple, rarely pinnately or palmately compound. Their margins may be entire, deeply lobed, cleft, crenate or dentate and petiolate with stipules. The inflorescences are b ...

Inflorescence
An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches. Morphologically, it is the modified part of the shoot of seed plants where flowers are formed on the axis of a plant. The modifications can involve the length and the nature of the internodes and the phyllotaxis, as well as variations in the proportions, compressions, swellings, adnations, connations and reduction of main and secondary axes. One can also define an inflorescence as the reproductive portion of a plant that bears a cluster of flowers in a specific pattern. The stem holding the whole inflorescence is called a peduncle. The major axis (incorrectly referred to as the main stem) above the peduncle bearing the flowers or secondary branches is called the rachis. The stalk of each flower in the inflorescence is called a pedicel. A flower that is not part of an inflorescence is called a solitary flower and its stalk is al ...
