This plant looks like H. attenuata, not H. fasciata, judging by the tubercles on the upper leaf surface (which are absent on fasciata). These plants are frequently (usually) confused in cultivation. I would like to propose this image be moved to the other entry.

Ok that is fine. I just uploaded the plant based on the ID tag that was provided.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. Philosophy is wondering if that means ketchup is a smoothie.

Yes, I figured that. Smiling There are probably historical reasons for this, but nearly all the plants in cultivation labeled fasciata are actually attenuata. Fortunately the two species are relatively easy to tell apart by the presence/absence of adaxial tubercles.
