If it's not alocasia, the veining looks like some sort of Colocasia. http://www.aquaticplantenthusiasts.com/p...

ok, I'm familiar with Alocasia. I've been searching A. odora but haven't found any with circular leaves. did you see a photo of a similar plant somewhere?

Yeah, I agree with Nicole, the leaves look really similar to nasturtium! Though I'm sure that's not what it is. Either way, really interesting leaves, what a vivid green :)
