What's w/ this odora leaf?

Cincinnati, OH(Zone 6b)

This leaf on the left has decided to try a little different form.

Any ideas on the cause?

It looks like a cross between a spathe and a leaf.
A spaleaf?

It kinda looks like a leaf but a flower two but it kinda made me think that it had a leaf roller in it....

I'm off to see if I can find the cause and get some better shots.
If need be I'll dissect it.

i agree it looks like a canna leaf with a leaf roller in it.

Cincinnati, OH(Zone 6b)

No leaf roller.
No anything.

It just looks like the female portion of a spathe decided at the last minute to turn into a deformed leaf.
The coloration is the normal spathe blue/gray on the bottom and regular green up top.

A complete spathe did form next.

I guess I'll watch it for a bit then dissect it to see what's up.
