Codonopsis sp. - need an identification

Thanks John,

I was led to a great Codonopsis website via Alpine-L
(http://www.codonopsis.co.uk/), and the consensus is that it most closely matches C. lanceolata or C.
ussuriensis. I later found a link to more photos of C. lanceolata at:
http://www.robsplants.com/plants/CodonLance.php
that closely resemble my plant.

The foliage of Codonopsis convolvulacea as pictured on the
http://www.codonopsis.co.uk/ site look wrong for my plant. It seems like many plants in
cultivation are misidentified.
