Can you name this plant?

I got this at a garage sale here on BI; seller didn't know what it was.
Plant is about 3 feet tall, in a 2 gallon pot. Leaves are about 4" long. New leaves are a coppery color.
I thought maybe Vireya/Tropical Rhododendron, but now I'm not sure, as what I thought were flower buds have turned into leaves.
Any ideas? I posted this question last week over in "Name that Plant," and "Tropical Plants", but got no replies.
Thanks!
