Trinomial Nomenclature if not found in plants but they exist in animals. Like
Cervus eldi eldi. Panthera tigris corbetti etc. These are actually not subspecies or varieties. To me, Bi-generic name is a different thing and even there are trigeneric names and they do exist in plants especially among hybrids. Like Aranda = Aerides + Vanda Sophrolaleocatleya = Sophronitis + Laelia + Cattleya. I hope I am on the right track.
