Burnet-saxifrage would need to redirect to Pimpinella when this exists. Normally in such cases the "typical" member of genus xy is unambiguously called "Common xy" and vernacularly just like the genus. In this case, I cannot find any reference suggesting "Common Burnet-saxifrage" is widely used. So "Burnet Saxifrage" refers to the most commonly seen species, while "burnet-saxifrage" could be any member (e.g. Greater Burnet-saxifrage, Pimpinella major), and the genus as a whole is "the burnet-saxifrages".
