Describe the plant here... {{Inc| Homalomena (Greek, variously explained). Also written Homalonema. Araceae. Tender foliage plants, variegated after the fashion of the well-known dieffen- bachias, and the rarer aglaonema and schismatoglottis. Robust herbs, with a thick rhizome: st. short or none: lvs. ovate- or triangular-cordate, or lanceolate, nerves reaching the margin; petiole mostly long and sheathing: stamens distinct: fr. included within the persistent spathe; ovules anatropous, adnate to the septa.—About 80 species, natives of Trop. Asia and Amer. It is probable that the plants seldom produce fls. or fr. in cult. They are known to the trade as Curmeria, which is now regarded as a section of Homalomena, in which the spathe has a distinct tube and the lvs. are either glabrous or pilose, while in the section Euhomalomena the spathe has an indistinct tube, and the lvs. are always glabrous. For cult., see Dieffenbachia. Latest Monograph by Engler in Das Pflanzenrcich, hft. 55. 1912. The species described below belong to the subgenus Curmeria, with 4 other species, American; the other species are Asian and of Pacific islands. }} ==Cultivation== <!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== <!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== <!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== <!-- This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc --> ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
