Just to be sure I again measured the total amount of DNA of H
plantaginea 'Aphrodite' and H plantaginea 'Japonica' The latter I
brought with me from the garden of the White Egret Castle in Japan
I measured 24.2 pg for Aphrodite and 24.4 pg for Japonica So there
is no significant difference between them. As moreover 'Japonica'
does not show any sign of being a hybrid I still conclude that H
plantagina ""Japonica ' is just plain H plantaginea and not a hybrid.
A H plantaginea ,Japonica' received from S Chamberlain had pure
yellow anthers. The small difference in leaf shape must be allowed
in any species.
