Take two
So I was windowshopping at Flytrapshop.com and came across two sarrs, which are of the same lineage, but are classified differently as they have separate names for each.

wait what? This is already a tangent, but since it was brought up here i'd like some clarification.
i thought S. 'Scarlet Belle' is a hybrid cultivator. i thought S. x wrigleyana was a S. x wrigleyana regardless of whichever plant plays 'mother'. Just as the offspring will exhibit different degrees of each parent, S. 'Scarlet Belle' was given it's name because it holds a certain distinction from its siblings.
In point: i thought all S. 'Scarlet Belles' are S. x wrigleyanas but not all S. x wrigleyanas are S. 'Scarlet Belles'

I believe you've got it right, amp. S. x wrigleyana is a cross between a leucophylla and a psittacina. 'Scarlet Belle' is a cultivar, which happens to be a wrigleyana.
