Can't help you ID it but wow, great find great price. Looks like it's been growing like crazy, telling by those leaves.

Thanks! Yeah the lady I purchased it from had a couple more but I went with the largest one with the most leaves. Cant beat $4! She was unsure of the variety so I decided to see if any of anyone has a guess

If it was growing outside in zone 8b I think Orinoco

Yes...I forgot to mention the woman said it was growing outside. She also stated that she bought the original plant from Home Depot I believe.

I'm with Tony, I'd guess Orinoco or Dwarf Orinoco, but it's too young to tell for sure. If the petioles stay short like they are now, it'd be dwarf, but relative petiole length can change as the plant gets older.
