An old fashioned plant that used to be grown indoors in Victorian times and we commonly see outside in the south... Aspidistra elatior ~ cast iron plant. Described as withstanding poor conditions and surviving where few other houseplants could. Hence the common name cast iron plant. There is supposed to be a less common varigated variety too. Have never seen one of them.
Don't discount the sansevieria (snake plant) as too common. There are many unusual varieties out there. The photo is a s. cylindrica which is slow growing but can get huge...
