The original plant, now known as Caladium praetermissum (formerly Alocasia 'Hilo Beauty'), was found in the Munich Botanical Garden in 1981. Its origin was and still is unknown. It was named Alocasia by Graf in 1982 and given the epithet cultivar. It was not until 2009 that it was officially re-identified as a Caladium species in the Journal of the International Aroid Society 'Aroideana', volume 32, page 126, in an article by W. L. A. Hetterscheid, J. Bogner and Julius Boos. It was renamed Caladium praetermissum, which means 'overlooked' or 'forgotten'. This refers to the fact that for a long time it was mistaken for an Alocasia. The cultivar name 'Hilo Beauty' still applies.
