Superficially this looks just like Opposite-leaved Golden-saxifrage but look under the flowers and you can quickly see that the leaves are alternate spaced up the flowering stem and not opposite. I also find that this plant has a more spaced-out appearance overall with larger leaves and none of the compact non-flowering habit usually seen in C. oppositifolium.
