    Would anyone help me identify this plant? I heard it can grow into a big tree, but I'm not sure what breed this is in order to research more. Thanks for your help.

    Looks like Castanospermum australe, Moreton Bay Chestnut. However I haven't seen one that wasn't all green. The tree may have a nutritional deficiency since the seed and stem are also somewhat yellow.

    wow Junglekeeper you made my day! thank you so much !

    yeah, the version I have seems to be variegated, you're possibly right that it might be caused by nutritional deficiency.... ah well, i will research more.

    thanks a bunch
