    Any ideas? I think (again) it's from the maranta family.

    Are the leaves reddish unerneath - I think the common name is Peacock plant. The latin starts with a c, but can't think of it.

    Yep - Calathea, that's it!

    Looks like a Prayer Plant - Maranta leuconeura or it could be a species of Calathea
