Some Tropical Looking Plant

This morning I noticed among her other garbage my across the street neighbor, Miss Virginia had placed some near dead tropical looking potted plant. I'm quite unsure as to what it may be but I brung it home anyway. The soil in the pot is almost dry as dust but the core of the plant still shows slight signs of green life. I'm soaking it in a bucket of water now but will pull it to drain directly and see can I bring it back to life.. If so I'll name the thing "Lazarus". If not I have some compost, potting soil and a pot all for free.
