OK, the Lumina series of Lychnis is a hybrid of two Lychnis species, so that
would be a grex?

Yes, and I must confess that I don't know how or if a grex name
differs from a hybrid name.

Grex?  Wow, that's new to me.  So it is a cultivar within a cultivar, so
to

sort of like Lychnis Lumina 'Bronze Leaf Red" is the red entry in the

Not exactly; a grex name *is* a hybrid name, and Fuchs' Mandarin is a
cultivar.

Just like your Lychnis Lumina 'Bronze Leaf Red', provided Lumina is a
hybrid

within Lychnis, and Bronze Leaf Red is one of Lumina's cultivars.
