						 John Van Ostrand of Illinois registered this sport of H. 'Striptease' in 2004.   
				It has green foliage with white medial (center) variegation. The 
medium size 
				mound grows to 13 inches in height with a spread of 39 inches. 
				Lavender flowers bloom from mid-July into August. 
						  
			 
			   
				 
				From 
				The 
				Hosta Journal,  (2008 Vol. 39 No 1),  
"Another similar sport, never introduced to the trade is 'Stripped Naked'. A 
dark green margin circles a white center that is occasionally dusted with green. 
Instead of the characteristic white line,...has highly irregular, light green 
flashes where the center and margin colors overlap. Overall, the distinguishing 
features...have proven unstable. "

						 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.  |
