Dr. Kevin Vaughn of Massachusetts registered this complex hybrid which involved H. ventricosa, H. tibae, H. plantaginea and H. nigrescens in 1983.  It forms an upright growing, giant size plant up to 42 inches tall by 50 inches wide. The dark green foliage has thick substance and there is a yellow spot at the leaf tip.

According to The Genus HOSTA by W. George Schmid (1991), "Plant has a yellow spot near leaf tip that enlarges until the entire leaf is yellow. Veins dark green."
