If I'd give it a name it'd be Syngonium podophyllon or oides.
Any clues and the 2nd photo has flower photos.
ID please
Looks like a Syngonium.
This is Syngonium podophyllum, the common type:

Thank you so very much!
Oops-let me back up. Having a chocolate colored spadix won't make a difference? Also the photo of the common type has the leaf shape of Typhonium venosum with the wide space between the, what would you call it?-verticle axis or skyward parts-if all the leaflets are perpendicular to the ground. These leaflets are not growing out of their rounded arrangement.
Does an updated botanical key of Araceae exist?
Syngonium podophyllum has a lot of cultivars with different leaves. Also, there's a big difference between the juvenile and adult leaves.
I did once come across a Syngonium website which had hundreds of them (well, it seemed like hundreds). Can't remember the name of the site but maybe if you googled you'd find it.
My vote would have to go for the genus Anthurium, as I have seen and grown some with divided leaves such as this one. The inflorescences on these Anthuriums also have the dark spadices such as your plant has. Syngonium, on the other hand, has inflorescences with a bulbous base, and white spadices which are unlike the ones on your plant.
Definitely Anthurium!
You can see the inflorescences of Syngonium podophyllum in this group of photos on TROPICOS:

It sort of reminds me of Anthurium pentaphyllum
Well, I did some more searching and found this:

The source says "Selbyana....."
Guess it's time for me to bug the display house manager and the botanist!
