This plant is in the office I work in and we were trying to figure out what it was....does anyone know? The leaves are broad and are really dark green with a lighter green in the middle and it is about 3.5 feet tall. The picture i have set as my picture for my profile is a picture of the leaves.

it is not hosta, not money plant, not ficus, not rubber plant. it is Dieffenbachia. Your picture is very clear. google the name and u will see the exatly same plant. take care since it is highly irritatting and toxic when chewed - not good for u if children or pets are around. there are microcrystals of calcium oxalate that cut in the tongue or throat like razors and it swells and can kill. really deadly, Beautiful but only if no kids and pets are around

no not varigated Dracaena. definitely Dieffenbachia. very sturdy ornamental plant that can be grown indoors. true bout the microcrystals and the irritating sap which is a xerophytic character. inflorescence (cluster of flowers) resembles the Anthurium. infact both belong to the plant family Araceae, which is a monocot

It is a Dieffenbachia camilla. It was introduced as a house plant in the 1970's and is one of the best in the genus dieffenbachias. The common name is "Dumb Cane". Never get the sap of the plant on your skin it is an irritant.
