[[File:Saxifragarufescens.jpg|thumb|231x231px|The native range of [[Saxifraga rufescens|''Saxifraga rufescens'']] is [[Tibet Autonomous Region|Tibet]], [[Sichuan]], [[Hubei|west Hubei]], [[Yunnan]] in [[China]] to [[Myanmar]]. In 2024, it was also recorded in [[Nagaland]] for the first time.]]
Primarily Northern hemisphere temperate and arctic regions, and also tropical montane, including the Americas, Europe, North Africa (including montane Ethiopia) and temperate and subtropical Asia to [[Luzon]] and New Guinea. In the Americas it extends south to central Mexico and the Andes to [[Tierra del Fuego]]. [[Centres of diversity]] are western N America, East Asia and the Himalayas. The largest concentration of genera are in the Pacific North West. Some ''Saxifraga'' and ''Chrysosplenium'' are [[circumboreal]]. Others have [[disjunct distributions]] between E Asia and N America, while other taxa have separate narrow distributions in southern S America. Some species are found in wet woodlands, swamplike conditions and wet cliff edges.{{sfn|Christenhusz et al|2017}}{{sfn|Deng et al|2015}}{{sfn|Byng|2014}}
