|discussion=<p><i>Boykinia richardsonii</i> was originally misidentified as <i>Saxifraga</i> nelsoniana D. Don by W. J. Hooker and G. A. W. Arnott ([1830–]1841); the error was soon rectified. Reports of <i>B. richardsonii</i> from eastern Siberia (P. A. Rydberg 1905; H. G. A. Engler 1930) appear to be erroneous.</p>
