This is a plant I received from my brother's funeral. I've looked all over the internet but can't find anything that seems to fit. Can anyone help identify this? Thanks. :)

I look up the plant in the book, "Houseplant Expert", and it shows a picture of the very young plant and it looks exactly like it. Most website seem to show only the more mature version of the plant. Here is a link to the book and the picture in the book: Howea

Awesome! Thank you so much! (I'm new to houseplants - I had no clue they looked so different as they matured!)
