Telesonix jamesii is a species of flowering plant in the saxifrage family native to the Rocky Mountains of North American. Common names include James' false saxifrage[2], James's saxifrage[3], or James' telesonix[4]. It is a rare species, endemic to rocky, high elevation habitats with granitic substrates in the southern Rocky Mountains of Colorado[5] and possibly New Mexico and Wyoming[3]. It is closely related to Telesonix heucheriformis, which has at times been considered a variety of Telesonix jamesii.[4]
