Hypoestes phyllostachya, the polka dot plant, is a species of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae, native to South Africa, Madagascar, and south east Asia. The spots often merge into larger areas of colour.

The Latin specific epithet phyllostachya means "with a leaf spike"....read more on Wikipedia.
