‘Cabbage tree’ maybe?

I *think* this is Cordyline fruticosa (common name: Cabbage tree), a broadleaf evergreen in the Asparagaceae or Laxmanniaceae family. I photographed one in Hilton Head Island this fall,

but this one is in the campus greenhouse.

Confirmed as Cordyline fruticosa. Species page at PhytoImages,
