"Plants
numbered by the late
Gus
Krossa, who imported many hostas from Japan and
Europe which he obtained from academic sources and
collectors the world over. His connections to Osaka
University brought a number of wild taxa into the United
States. He numbered many of them, lacking
identification, and after their names became known they
were renamed...The numbers were compiled from Krossa's lists and his correspondence with
Alex Summers, who generously provided originals
and/or copies."
