    Can anybody please help me ID this plant?
    I've been told that it belongs to the Costus spp. but I was unable to find the species.
    Besides, it doesn't look like Costus. Any suggestion?

    Best regards,
    KaDAI

    Good thing your friend answered that, KaDAI - it doesn't look like anyone else knew. That's the whole plant right now - that one leaf? I can find just a few photos on google, but none showing more than a few leaves. I'd be interested to see what an established plant looks like. One site said it's in the same family as Tradescantia.
