The Genus HOSTA by W. George Schmid (1991) lists this as a non-registered, large size, green cultivar of H. montana-type which was originated by Chet Tompkins of Oregon. Schmidt describes the plant as having "...uneven, sometimes checkerboard-patterned, greyish green variegation over a dark green leaf..."

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...a background plant with mottled-cream foliage that has a ruffled edge...have never seen in a collection or garden...may no longer exist."
