Looks like it might be one of the many leaf pattern variations of Persian Shield (Strobilanthes dyeranus). This photo shows the typical coloration: http://www.botanicalstockphotos.com/photo-strobilanthes-dyeranus-582.htm . But it can also match your form or be like this: http://www.botanicalstockphotos.com/photo-strobilanthes-dyeranus-583.htm . If the plant produces the purple flowers shown in picture 2 it will confirm the ID.
