It's a member of the anubias' family, aracae; but it isn't aquatic like anubias.
That's a popular house plant called syngonium.

Glad Join The Forum - Looking For A Plant ID
Hello all,
I'm a nativeNY'er living in Europe, and finally took the time to join the forum. I enjoy breeding livebearers, and until last year the only plants I'd really worked with were meant for hiding fry (miles of vals, armfuls of hornwort, etc...); but this site has been invaluable for insight and info since trying my hand at a genuine planted tank.
I was wondering if anyone can offer some insight on what plant this might be in the pictures. LFS received several unlabeled pots of them as part of their most recent shipment, and the color was such a blatant departure from the usual green pallet that I had to buy a bundle. For the equivalent of $3 for a pot of 3 already at 6", there was no way to go wrong!!
It's certainly variegated, but the pictures aren't giving this plant it's proper due. I don't know whether it's "marbled" or "white," whether it needs to be buried or not - I'm really only guessing that it's some variety of Anubias by the shape of the leaves, for that matter - but it's absolutely stunning.
Any / all insight is welcomed....and this is a great forum!!

Don't put it in your aquarium - it will drown. 
Should make a nice houseplant.
