Hosta fortunei (Funkia fortunei, Baker. Hosta sieboldiana, Var. fortunei, Voss). Plant differs from H. sieboldiana in having smaller lvs. and the racemes much overtopping the foliage, as in other hostas: petiole 2-3 in. long; blade cordate-ovate, 4-5 in. long: raceme ½ ft. long on a st. or scape 1 ft. long; fls. pale lilac, funnel- shape, 1 ½ in. long, the segms. lanceolate and ascending and half as long as the tube.—Excellent. Generally cult, as Funkia sieboldiana, and many of the pictures of that name, probably belong here, as, apparently, Gn. 38, p. 79; A.G. 11:157; A.F. 6:322. It is probable that the garden synonyms cited under H. sieboldiana are usually applied to plants of H. fortunei. A var. gigantea is offered, with lvs. and fls. much larger than in the type. Vars. robusta, and argenteo-variegata, are also listed abroad.
