In Plant Delights 2002 catalog, Tony lists three Aspidistras.
Aspadistra elatior 'Asahi'   zone 7-10
Aspadistra lurida 'Ginga'    zone 7b-10
Aspadistra typica "Old Glory" zone 8-10
All three are variegated and not the plain old.............I bought a plain 
old for three bucks this summer and will carry it over indoors to see how i 
like it.  Have plans to plant it out next spring, cut it back and leave out 
all winter to see if it survives.  my effort as a plant scientist(not)
Walter in zone 6b Bucks  County. Pa
