Is it an outdoor plant or a houseplant? A shrub? What?
How big is the leaf? Does it flower? Much more info needed than a
photo
of a dead leaf unfortunately ;-)
My wildest guess is ficus.

Ficus is more oval, and you'd be hard put to fold it into an envelope
without splitting it ;-)

The black midrib should be a clue.


I said it was a wild guess! ;-)
What are your thoughts on it?

No more than I said! It looks like the end of a harts tongue fern ;-)
But I think we had better assume it's the whole leaf.

Oh, I thought you meant you knew it because of the black mid-rib! g
It could be lots of things without more clues. Even laurel at a pinch.
Do give us all a chance, original poster ;-) My psychic ability is low at
the moment..
I do so like trying to identify plants, although I am not all that good at
it yet. But I have books..
