Vicki, I believe the old fashioned petunia is known scientifically as Petunia × hybrida. The identity of the original parents is not certain, but a good guess is that they were P. axillaris and P. integrifolia.

If you're interested, here is an article on petunias I published some time ago: http://garden.org/ideas/manage...
