steve_mass said:The name is listed incorrectly. Hosta montana is a species. Hosta montana 'Aureomarginata' is a sport of montana that was found in a nursery in Japan. It is definitely not a Sieboldiana. Sieboldiana types are a group of cultivars with similar characteristics that bloom early and are typical of cooler season plants. Sieboldiana is not a species.

Welcome to the fun and crazy world of plant taxonomy...

Currently, H. montana is recognized as a synonym of H. sieboldiana. H. sieboldiana IS a species.
