I agree that it sure looks like an Arum. If you grow any arums, this
could be self-sown seedlings - even of A. Italicum, since quite a few
seedlings will turn out plain green with no markings.
If you don't grow any arums, do any of your neighbors grow them? If
no to both then you've got me! Dig up some of them and see if they
grow from a tuber or a rhizome or what...that might help. Then photo
that and with the foliage pix, post on Aroid-L or I'll do it for you
pointing to your images. Someone on that list is likely to be able
to give an ID for any aroid.
