I think what he is saying is that it's a backcross(most often you see it represented as BX...) the #1 after would represent that it was the first backcross...if it read BX2 or B2...that would represent the second backcross and so forth.
The f2...represents that after the backcross was made the plants from that cross were inline bred(same generation sibling incross...so in the f1 generation a male and a female were crossed....creating the f2 generation).
