Photographed yesterday this is about 2.5 ft ornamental and I am not sure if this has anything to do in this fortnight.

Thank you

Sir,

Searched a lot but couldn't find any solution. All ornamental Araceae seem to have pinnately veined leaves while this one has parallel/longitudinal nerves.

Thank you
