S. stand for Sarracenia
N. stand for Nepenthes
U. stand for Utricularia
D. stand for Drosera
X. stand for hybrid
and so on

Abreviation for the sake of convinience. 'S.' stands for Sarracenia, 'P.' for Pinguicula, 'U.' for Utricularia and so on.
The 'x' means crossed with or hybrid.
So all together you get something like this: S. x. excellens so what you have is a hybrid plant called excellens. If you asked some one the parents they would tell you S. leucophylla x S. minor which means that you crossed leuco with minor to get the plant.
Make sense?

Raw,

We would prefer it if you didn't shout so much, it is kind of a 'sign' of 'aggression' and even if you aren't meaning to be some people take it as adversarial/rude
