That looks to me like a Croton of some kind, there are very many varieties, you mostly see the large leaved colorful ones that have a lot of red and yellows. But there are very green ones with corkscrew or slender leaves. Like this one. Leaves shouldn't be droopy: http://0.tqn.com/d/containergardening/1/0/3/A/-/-/crotonGoldDustTall.jpg here is something about their care: http://houseplants-care.blogspot.com/2006/05/croton-plant-care.html They are tropical so basically lots of sun and moisture.
