I'd resize them for you, Christine, but my connection is being troublesome.  :-X
Not to worry!

Amongst the Sax seed I've received from the Exchanges is S. x cochlearifolia and I can't find any reference to it in McGregor. Could anyone tell me more about it please?

Beats me, David, I see Kew lists it as an 'unresolved' name -
Saxifragaceae Saxifraga × cochleariifolia Schrad. ex Kunze
Linnaea 16: 318. 1842
Original Data: ??
Notes: Europ

I expect Adrian, Tim  or one of the others may know more.

My guess is that it is a corruption of S. cochlearis, or S. cochlearis x ?. Which could be S. x farreri or S. 'Probynii'.

Saxifraga × cochleariifolia Schrad. ex Kunze
= Ss. rotundifolia x x polita ?
This was a garden hybrid 150 years ago,
it is reported as extinct many many years ago.
Also as it is a hybrid you cannot grow it from seed.
I would treat this seed with a lot of caution,
let us know what comes from it.   ;D

Thanks Tim and Adrian, I'll label it "Saxifraga ???" and hopefully, one of these days, I'll be able to post a pic of what comes up.

It was in both SRGC and AGS Exchanges- (3702 SRGC) (5118 AGS) if the donator(s) read this perhaps they might tell us more and show us a pic.

Long time since you posted this Chris but I found it today whilst browsing. Your plant looks very similar to a seedling I grew see here, reply 56
