			Warren I. Pollack in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal  (2020 Vol. 51 No. 1) titled 
								Doppelgänger Hostas: 
								Fancy Name for Look-alike Hostas, included a long list of hostas  which various 
								hostaphiles, published articles or other sources 
								have indicated "look" the same. Some of these 
								are, in fact, the same plant with two or more 
								different names. Others are hostas that vary in 
								some minor trait which is not immediately 
								discernable to the casual observer such as seasonal color variations, bloom traits, ploidy, etc. So, as Warren mentions, hostaphiles may 
								differ as to the plants listed but then, their opinions are based on visual observations  and 
								interpretations. |
