"Homogeneous" here means "uniform", "consisting of parts which are all
of the same kind". (Contrast "homogenous" which, according to the
OED and Webster, is a biological term meaning "having a common descent
or origin", and is applied to "organs of different organisms which show
a correspondence of structure due to derivation from a common ancestor".
"Homogenous" is commonly but mistakenly used as a synonym for "homogeneous".)
