This is a pet peeve of mine.
Our light levels here in the northeast don't come near the light levels that one finds near the equator.
If you get me a locale for Rauhia I'll show you the difference between where they grow and Boston area.
I found a city in Peru near where Rauhia are found, Bagua Grande.
See the attached two charts which are indications of light levels for the two locations.

Hi Arnold,
I agree it's a Rauhia, and am hoping to get a species name if at all
possible. It has not flowered for me yet.
Even grown hard, in Bob's greenhouse, it was this way; elongated. I've had
it in full sun, and yes, lower light, at different times over the years,
and the leaf is always like this. Maybe that helps identify the species?
Best, Jude
