						 An article by
			
			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. |
