This cultivar was found in 1981 as a seedling of Lomandra longifolia in the bed of the Tuross River near Peak Alone, N.S.W. It was named for the mountain and nearby property, and for the colour of the variegated foliage. The cultivar was submitted for registration in October 1989. The application was received from Pauline Evans, via Cobargo, NSW.

The main feature of the cultivar is the extremely attractive variegated foliage.

The variegation is reasonably regular over the leaf blade and no reversion has been noted. It is said to be a more compact plant than the usual form.

Cultivation
