Am I H. elliptica

Prescott, AZ

My sister dropped this off at my house a few days ago. After doing some research, I am thinking this is H. elliptica. What do you all think?

It doesn't look like mine...it looks more like a sp. from Sabah. H. elliptica - if my shrinking brain remembers correctly - has lighter venation making the 'turtle back' pattern.

O.K. back to the searching game. It would just be alot easier if she would tag these puppies. If she thinks she's getting back once it starts growing she is mistaken....

Tami it's planted in my regular potting soil that I use, the perlite just rises to the top when I water . I also have it in clay pot and water it about 2-3 times per week.

Blessings,
Awanda
