I think yours is Odora 'Indian'. Which is what mine was identified as. Here is a side by side You can decide for yourself.
This is A. Culcullata. It has a distinct 'point'. This plant is about 10 years old. The veining is simple, and the leaf blade between the veins is smooth. The trunk, even at this age, is thin. There is a hunting arrow shaft for comparison. I can circle this with my hand and still fit 2-3 more trunks in
This is A. Odora Indian. The leaves can be variable. More elongate or more chordate. The thin tip is much less pronounced. The leaf blade is quite a bit larger, and the space between the veining is puckered not smooth. It's also much larger. One trunk of a much younger plant would equal about 6 trunks of culcullata bunched together.
So you can compare and decide for yourself
