Why speculate on the ploidy of your plants? Just send them to me
and you have an answer for free in a week This includes ploidy
chimerae of which I found already several See my publication in:

I find that interesting that Hosta have polyploidic cytochimeras, not
unexpected. Ben which plants did you find were polyploid chimeras?
If the generation of polyploids is "common" in tissue culture-this might
explain why some plants come out of culture and do not grow well.
