I have a little one of these .... Thanks for the ID Deb .... I knew it as the "Prayer Plant" but couldn't remember the botanical name! Just searched plant files and found it:

Well, that looks really close, but that says it has lavender flowers and this has tiny white ones. Also the markings aren't the same. Maybe a different variety?

I really appreciate your help in id-ing this!

Your plant is also known as "Rabbit Tracks", Susan. Very nice plant. I lost my variegated one to underwatering a couple months ago.

GH...just wanted to say, don't give up on that variegated one, as I've found they tend to go dormant (or mostly dormant) during the winter...mine has done this 3 years in a row, and is regrowing now with some spectacular 'pink' coloring. I took a photo, but forgot to bring the camera with me to upload the photos to the computer!

GH...I thought mine was a goner, too....if you still have it just *try* watering it when it's very dry....it might just surprise you!
(Well, unless you've already thrown it out, lol!!)
