This plant took some identifying this leaf beleive it or not has the most green on any of the five little ones I have of this plant.

The first two plants to emerge (they're all from the same dormant rhizome I got some time last year) are averse to getting any green leaves, they are an eerie pale cream colour totally, with only the merest tinge of green visible when the tightly rolled up new leaf appears in the stem ready to emerge.

We finally narrowed it down with the help of an exotic plants forum I am a member of. I beleive it is Alocasia macrorrhizos albo variegata, but the most variegated I've ever seen being splashes of green on white rather than as can be seen above predominantly green with some variegation
