Alpine saxifrage refers to several flowering plants in the genus Saxifraga that thrive in harsh alpine and arctic environments. Typically used in botanical and hiking contexts, the term covers species adapted to rocky, high-altitude terrain where few other plants survive. Not slang per se, but occasionally used loosely by hikers and naturalists to describe any small, hardy wildflower found above the treeline.
She pointed out a tiny alpine saxifrage clinging to a crevice near the summit ridge.
