Peter Ruh of Ohio in 1987. It is a
medium size plant that grows to 12 inches in height with a width
of 29 inches. The foliage is slightly wavy and slightly cupped.

article by Peter Ruh about the so-called David Stone Medium or Miniature hostas which went by a numbering system that
started with
DSM. This cultivar was called DSM #10
