Palmate leaved houseplant

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify a mystery houseplant I have.

The plant has stalks (6 to 12 inches) that end in palmate leaves (sometimes 5 sometimes 9 (in sets of 4+2+3)). The leaves are variegated (white center, light green edges) and narrow - about 4-5 inches long. The older leaves have a dark smooth line running along the edge of the leaves, but the younger ones have very lightly serrated edges.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Matt
