						 This is a duplicate, incorrect or outdated name  for H. 'Antioch'. 
						  
						 An article about 
						H. 'Antioch' by 
						Warren I. Pollock in 
						
						The 
				HostaJournal (1985 Vol. 16) states that, "Chet Tompkins 
of Canby, Oregon believes he can trace this hosta to one of his mother's plants dating back to
						1928...Among the several hosta varieties that his mother 
sold to the old Wayside Gardens of Mentor, Ohio, from 1936 to 1940, one had the 
designation "1928 #7 W.E." (W.E. meant White Edged.) 
						 Most assuredly this hosta 
is the one we now call H. 'Antioch'...I have a copy of the 1973 Wayside Gardens' 
catalogue and it lists "H. fortunei aurea marmorta"...another example where 
nursery people -- not botanists -- have given a Latin botanical name to a 
hosta..."aurea marmorta" means "marbled with gold"...Chet Tompkins' mother's 
"1928 #7 W.E." became "H. fortunei Aurea Marmorata" which gave way to
						H. 
'Antioch'."
