I was about to post roughly the same answer to Qu1 but TCL beat me to it.  Only one difference though, I have the latin name as Saxifraga umbrosa for 1b.

[THECORBYLOON]

gen2 there seems to be a couple of Latin names for "London Pride," yours and mines. The AOL dictionary quotes mines in the definition for "London Pride" but there are fewer hits compared to yours. I don't know if one is "more correct" than the other but. 

[gen2]

OK TCL I think you are correct even though it generates fewer hits.  This website of the London Biodiversity Partnership seems to be quite authoratative on the matter.
