It may be an exotic ornamental of Marantaceae. Very difficult to identify with this photo.


Thank you … for forwarding a message from …

At least he has zeroed on the family of the plant in question.
Can you guide me on what more details are needed in the photos?
Next time I visit the place I will focus on those things in my photos.


I think images when all leaves are open along with flowers/ fruits, if any, may help in id.
