For this study data from morphology, anatomy, cytology, ecology, and reproductive biology were used to circumscribe eleven taxa of Saxifraga section Boraphila subsection Integrifoliae and to assess their relationships. Most taxa have strong protandry as a method of ensuring outcrossing, and taxa in the S. integrifolia complex (S. integrifolia, S. apetala, and S. nidifica) have been shown to be self-compatible. Saxifraga californica has been shown to be self-incompatible but not protandrous. In occasional populations of S. integrifolia, gynodioecy occurs as an alternate outcrossing mechanism. Limited hybridization experiments and morphological analysis of putative natural hybrids suggest that at least one species, S. hitchcockiana Elvander, nom. nov., evolved by reticulate evolution. Hybrids have been produced and putative hybrids in nature have been found between taxa of subsection Integrifoliae and subsection Nivali-virginienses. Chromosome numbers have been determined for all but two taxa: S. apetala (n = 38), S. aprica (n = 10), S. integrifolia (n = 19), S. hitchcockiana (n = 38), S. nidifica (n = 10, 19), S. oregana (n = 19, 38), S. rhomboidea (n = 10, 19, 20, 28), and S. tempestiva (n = 5). It is hypothesized that combinations of self-compatibility, hybridization, polyploidy, and aneuploid reduction have been significant influences on speciation in subsection Integrifoliae and probably in other subsections of section Boraphila. The treatment includes a new combination, S. nidifica var. claytoniifolia (Canby ex Small) Elvander. A key to the species and varieties as well as distribution maps are provided. All numbered collections cited are listed in an index.
