The Euclase Forest Glow

What Is Homalomena sp. “Euclase”?

Homalomena sp. “Euclase” is a collector-type Homalomena known for its cool-toned sheen and refined leaf texture. The term “sp.” means the exact species has not been formally identified, while “Euclase” is a trade name inspired by the pale, crystal-like appearance of its foliage.
