Saxifraga spathularis, the St Patrick's cabbage,{{BSBI 2007 |accessdate=2014-10-17 }} is a species of saxifrage native to Ireland, Portugal, and Spain. It is a member of the so-called Lusitanian flora, a small set of plants which are native to Ireland but inexplicably absent from Great Britain. It consists of a basal rosette of elongate obovate succulent leaves around an upright leafless flowering stem. It seems to grow best in humus-rich alpine habitats among acidic rocks.Rose, Francis. 1981. The Wild Flower Key.
