ICNCP Name: 'Tsukikage-nishiki'

月影錦, Tsukikage-nishiki, means "Moonlight Brocade." Note that "tsukikage", 月影, is a single compound word and so not hyphenated. It is a fitting name for this shirasawanum, with a light yellow-green, like moonlight, taking over parts of leaves. As usual with this kind of variegation, the yellow parts are smaller, so that the leaves often exhibit a curious and interesting shape. (ED)
