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?
