Homalomena "Purple Sword"...what is the parentage? Homalomena "Selby"....is this Homalomena erythropus? Last is a newer one called by some places Homalomena "Red Velvet" or Homalomena velutina. Is this perhaps a form of Homalomena picturata? It has pink fuzzy petioles and dark green cordate matte leaves. Here is a link for H.
