Appearance
It is a variable, rhizomatous perennial, growing to 30 cm tall and broad, with crowded clumps of evergreen, strikingly-marked oval leaves, each up to 12 cm long. The leaves have a habit of lying flat during the day, and folding in an erect position at night, hence the common name "prayer plant".
Naming
The specific epithet "leuconeura" means "white-veined", referring to the leaves.References:
