Calathea lancifolia

Thanks for sharing an ornamental house plant from family Marantaceae. About a dozen species are found in this genus.

On searching, my plant looks more like Calathea wiotii, and not Calathea lancifolia.

Experts kindly confirm.

For me the plant looks like Calathea wiotii. Pl check this link: http://www.htbg.com/Marantaceae/CAL-010-7-29-049/

Thanks for follow up and id of this ornamental plant.

Waiting for validation as it looks same to me….. Calathea wiotii.
