True...further, there are hexaploids and polyploid DLs! I remember reading
somewhere that hosta that were treated with colchicine yielded tetraploid and
polyploid chromosome count hosta. I don't remember if dip & tet were on the
same hosta.
Would the same hold true for tet hosta being able to be crossed with only tet
hosta?
