There is an image of this 
						cultivar on the Hosta Library. From the photo on the HL website, it appears to be a 
						miniature 
						size hosta with green leaves and yellow medial 
						(center) variegation. Some of the lanceolate, pointed 
						leaves twist to the side and are quite distorted. This non-registered cultivar was 
						originated in Japan. 
						 
				Mikiko Lockwood in an article on The Hosta Library titled, 
			
			A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms  defines the term iwa as rock, Iwa Gibōshi or
			 
				H. longipes and the term shironakafu or shiro nakafu as white-center(ed).  |
