Remarks
Both Saxifraga elata Nutt. (Jun 1840) and B. occidentalis Torr. & A. Gray (Jun 1840) have equal priority. Although A. Gray had the choice of making B. elata (Nutt.) A. Gray var. occidentalis (Torr. & A. Gray) A. Gray, he chose to make B. occidentalis var. elata (Nutt.) A. Gray, and this established the priority of B. occidentalis over S. elata (cf., Vienna Code Art. 11.5).
