						 According to
				
							The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "H. 'White Beauty' = H. 'Undulata 
						Albomarginata' 
				Another source indicates that 
				Jan 
				van den Top of the Netherlands originated this non-registered cultivar in 2002 and 
				it is a sport 
						of H. 'Undulata Albomarginata'.  This medium size (18 inches high by 36 inches 
wide) plant has pale 
				lavender flowers with a mid-petal stripe in July. The flowers are 
				sterile so they do not develop seeds. 
			  
				
						 An article about H. 'Undulata'  and its origins by 
Bob Solberg in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal (1996 Vol. 27 No. 1) states that, "H. 'Undulata 
Albomarginata' is an interspecific hybrid of 
H. sieboldii  x 
H. montana  but of 
different individual parentage than H. 'Undulata'.  It was probably sold to 
Thomas Hogg in 1875 in Yokohama, Japan.  It is not a sport of H. 'Undulata'  or H. 
'Undulata 
Erromena', the white-edged sport of the latter being H. 'See 
Saw'...While the data presented here strongly support these conclusions, they do 
not provide absolute proof. DNA testing of these cultivars would prove very 
interesting."
