Mark,
Visit the Saxifrage Society Website
http://www.saxifraga.org/default.asp
and click on 'Plants' it gives a guide to the genus. Better still, join The Saxifrage Society!

Mark,
Encrusted saxifrages are handsome plants forming spreading cushion of lime-encrusted rosettes.
Saxifraga x engleri and S. Southside Seedling are encrusted saxifrages.
The Porphyrion saxifrages or Kabschias form small cushions of quite hard-leaved rosettes with flowers on stems up to only a few centimetres tall.
Saxifraga Your Success, iranica, scardica etc. are Porphyrion saxifrages.
Look on my website!

Further...
Porophyllum
is a subsection under
Saxifraga
Section
Porphyrion
... though the subsection and term have been embraced and discarded and renewed a few times, seemingly! According to McGregor (who differs from Harding's analysis), Subsection
Porophyllum
includes
Kabschia
,
Engleria
and
Tetrameridium
.
The encrusted or "silver" saxifrages are in Section
Legulatae
, in which there are 8 species.

The pots were in the propagation area, Lesley, but there were plants for sale too.
I took the photograph simply because pattern looked nice.
