An article by
W.
George Schmid in
The
Hosta Journal (1996 Vol. 27 No. 2) states that this
is an "old" incorrect name for Hosta
rectifolia 'Maruba
Tachi'. Mikiko Lockwood in an article on The Hosta Library titled,
A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms defines the term maruba
as round leaf or round-leafed and the term tachi as upright, 'Tachi Gibōshi' or
H. rectifolia. |
