						 An article by W. George Schmid  in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal (1985 Vol. 16) discusses the 
University of Munich's trial gardens named Staudensichtungsgarten Weihenstephan, "...a 
fine collection of hostas. These are of great importance from a historical 
standpoint, because many of the cultivars there came from the early German 
hybridizers, including Georg Ahrends . They include 
H. sieboldii  (syn. H. albomarginata) 'Alba Improved', 
H. ventricosa   'Superba', H. tardiflora  'Hybrids' 
and H. 'Elegans'." 
						
						 We 
						would suspect that this is a sport of Hosta sieboldii 
						'Alba' 
						but...we don't know for sure.
