Help with Weird Plant ID

I inherited this plant last week and have no idea what it is. It is a tropical-type plant and the new leaves come out on two stalks - one at the base and one at the tip end. The leaf stays connected to both for a long time and is twisted. Any help here is appreciated.

From the color of the new leaves, it's likely a philodendron "prince of orange".
As for leaf unable to unfurl, it could be due to a recent change in growing condition as you just got it from your friend. Try misting it with water to increase the humidity.

Thanks, I'll look into that species and see if I can find more info.

The leaf behavior has always been that way, with the tip end encased in a sheath attached to the stem.  Apparently it stays that way for a long time then the tip end lets go and the leaf uncurls. I've never seen anything like this behavior.

Also, I was told that this plant flowers, but have no information on the flower characteristics.

The leaves of syngonium or arrowhead plant grow in a similar way but not as dramatic as this one. Many of the popular houseplants are from the family of Araceae: philodendron, pothos, peace Lily, ZZ plant, caladium, anthurium etc. So you may expect the philodendron inflorescence to share similarity to that of peace Lily or anthurium but less showy.

May, it now looks like your first guess is right on. After a couple of hours doing online searches it seemed like it wasn't an unusual plant at all, but a problem with growth conditions so I started searching for that and found a reddit thread about Prince of Orange leaves becoming stuck due to lack of humidity. Thanks a bunch for your help.
