Hi HDD and Lisa, Thanks a lot for the feedback. HDD, the plant belongs to a friend of many years who is very, very ill and has been in and out of hospital since early last year and she asked me to see if I could find anyone to ID her plant. The leaves must be naturally shiny as I only washed the leaves in water to remove some dust and waited till they dried before I took the pic. I also forgot to mention that it is only quite small, about 12 inches overall the whole plant and about 8 inches high from the bottom of the pot to the top of the leaves. It is growing beneath 50% green shade cloth which gets the sun from 0900 - 1500 and doesn't get any other shade. Lisa, that's the only pic I have and it was taken with my old camera which I could never use to good effect. I have tried to make the flower a bit bigger so you can see it better and maybe help in the ID. All the best, Nev.

I've googled undulata erromena, and the pictures seem to be a match. However the descriptions all seem to say it has shiny leaves, whereas mine definitely doesn't. Its leaves are a dull flat finish. Would growing conditions affect the gloss factor? I have a Royal Standard nearby and it glows compared to this one. Thanks for your opinions.

Looks like one of the Buprestid beetles, to me, an adult. They're tree borers. Attached is an image from Bug Guide. Looks similiar to yours, though there are hundreds of varieties. Here is a link that might be useful:

The long tail is typical of a Coopers Hawk. Broadwings tails barely clear the end of the wings. Coopers hawks will go to great lengths to capture prey. They are very vocal with a loud series of Kak Kak kaks when alarmed. Here is a link that might be useful: If you love nature you will love Frogpatch.com
