Dear Steve,
Aloha. I just took a quick look in the greenhouse and
I found a plant similar to yours. However, it is
difficult to make a positive identification based on
sterile non-blooming material.
First of all, this is an Anthurium...I can see both a
geniculum on the petiole and collective vein on the
leaf blade. The collective vein does not always go
around the entire blade. Sometimes it does not
include the back or posterior lobes.
This plant resembles Anthurium longipeltatum (Matuda).
From Oaxaca , Mexico. This is assuming my plant came
with the correct identification, but I checked
Tropicos and it fits. Now you need to bloom this
plant to see if it comes close. This sort of
identification is very tentative as many plants share
the characters that your photo reveals.
Aloha,
Leland
