A friend of mine has a plant that she can't identify. I have a camera and have had such great experiences with this site, so we're trying here.

The plant is just over 2 feet tall, and has a lot of very thick, shiny, healthy, green leaves. It's in a room with a west facing window, on the opposite side of the room. Here are a few pictures.

Thanks for any help!

It's a fig! I don't know if there are different varieties.

Ficus lyrata ("Fiddle-leaf Fig").

That's fantastic! It is distinctive looking, so it's not surprising you were able to figure it out so quickly. My friend is so happy to know, although it's a lot to find out that it may be 15m tall! thank you!
