The white grape variety originates from Hungary. Synonyms are Csmor, Csomor, Gyuedi Fehér, Lämmerschwanz and Szederkenyi Fehér. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Coarnă Alba (Pukhliakovsky) x Lisztes Fehér. Despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities, it should not be confused with the Juhfark variety. It used to be common in the Baranya area in the south of Hungary. In 2016, only 0.5 hectares of vines were still designated (Kym Anderson).
