I think we should take a vote on this issue.
I prefer the specie name being absent in any listing of hosta/perennial
where a cultivar name also exists for the individual plant........it just
makes life simpler. Try telling the RHS Plant Finder folk tho' to do that
for every perennial/shrub/tree .....no chance.
