London Pride, ''Saxifraga × urbium'', is a perennial garden flowering plant. Alternative names for it include St. Patrick's Cabbage, Whimsey, Prattling Parnell, and Look Up And Kiss Me. Before 1700 the London Pride appellation was given to the Sweet William.〔Brewers Dictionary of Phrase and Fable 18th edition, 2005〕 ==Taxonomy== The "true" London Pride is a hybrid between ''Saxifraga umbrosa'', native to the Spanish Pyrenees, and ''Saxifraga spathularis'' (which is the plant to which the name St Patrick's Cabbage more correctly belongs, coming from western Ireland). The hybrid has been known at least since the 17th century. The name is sometimes applied to any of several closely related plants of the saxifrage genus. The section ''Gymnopera'' of the genus ''Saxifraga'' are collectively referred to as "London Pride saxifrages", and others of them have "London Pride" in their common names, for example the Lesser London Pride, ''S. cuneifolia'', and the Miniature London Pride, ''S. umbrosa'' var. ''primuloides''.
