Here is a pic of both leaves. The one of the left big dipper the one of the right Coffee cups (tea cups). Coffee cups produces a sheen on the leaf and seems to cup up a bit more with tip almost always pointing upward. It can grow to 6 to 9 feet tall and forms runners on top of the ground.

Big dipper had a slight velevet feel to the leaves and most leaves will not cup up till over 2 to 3 feet tall. They usually grow to 5 to 6 feet and have shown to be much hardier than Coffee cups. They also send runners on top of the ground and under ground.
