list with Binomial names
Like us humans, Saxifrages do have a name. The Sax in the photo on the left is 'Hind Head Seedling'. Mostly the name is given by the hybridiser or someone who is allowed by the hybridiser to name the plant. But to sort out the origin of a man made cross like this, there is something called a 'Binomial'. To stay basic, one can say that the binomial name gives us a sort of bloodline, or who are the parents of the plant. For us collectors and/or lovers of Saxifrages it's important to know the bloodline or binomial. You can recognise features in the plant and flowers which belong in the same binomial. The 'Hind Head Seedling' in this example does have the binomial x boydii. The x stands for cross. Boyd is the name of the hybridiser. Saxifragas from the same parenthood belong in the binomial x boydii. Which is in this case a cross between Saxifraga aretioides x burseriana. Both botanical Saxifrages. In this case is 'Hind Head Seedling' a seedling of Saxifraga x boydii 'Faldonside', so knowing this 'Hind Head Seedling' belongs in the binomial x boydii. At first sight it looks difficult but when you get to know the Saxifrages better you will see it's rather helpful. Round the year 2000 it's changed by the International Society for horticultural science, the ISHS. Newer crosses are now in 'Groups', which cover the bloodlines better. If you want to know more about binomials, Groups etc, Google can learn you a lot. So on this page i will give you a simple list of the known binomials with the bloodline. In our alphabet list of Saxifrages on this website you will find always the binomial or group name behind the name of the Saxifraga. Sometimes you see, NCC or NCY. NCC means 'Not Classified Cultivar', which means that we do not know both parents, so we can not be certain of the binomial group. NCY means 'Not Classified Yet', sometimes it take some time for a Saxifraga to be named complete. So it can be changed in a binomial or will be an NCC in the future. And sometomes you see 'Clone' behind the name of the Saxifraga, this refers to a plant with genetically features as the specie, but can differ in growth, flowering, rosette color. The other page with the Group names is for the crosses from 2000 on.
