Additional Comments:
2009 Editor's Note: W. George Schmid writes: "Since Urajiro means "with white-backed leaves" we can register a new name for H. longipes var. latifolia 'Urajiro Hachijo'. Since Hachijo is the Japanese academic name for H. rupifraga, we cannot use it. Besides, it is NOT a white-backed form of H. rupifraga. We cannot use the Japanese academic name Iwa Giboshi in the cultivar name, but we can use the name H. longipes var. latifolia 'Urajiro' (the broad-leaved rock hosta with white-backed leaves), thus Urajiro is not an adjective and we can use it for a cultivar name. Amagi Iwa Giboshi and Izu Iwa Giboshi are two different forms of H. longipes var. latifolia but not differentiated as varieties for forma.
