I bought this at a supermarket and it didn't have the name of the plant. I suspect it is a philodendron, but I can't find any images on the web that have these particular leaves. I would appreciate any advice.

This is a type of dieffenbachia.
Thanks, Judy. Do you know the species? When I search for pictures on the web for both Dieffenbachia and, attosa, Chinese Evergreen, I can't find any that have such clearly defined lines around the green parts. Any thoughts on this?
Perhaps its a Chinese evergreen
I believe your plant is in the Calathea family and may be a Calathea concinna or a Peacock Plant, Zebra Plant or Rattlesnake Plant as they are all similar and sometimes called by all names.
Here are some links that have photos and care instructions.

Yup, that's it; an exact match with the photos. Thanks for identifying it and for the care tips. Thanks to all for responding so quickly!
This is a nice plant - just remember over watering is its worst enemy.
Thanks! I think it's just beautiful.
It looks like a Watermelon peperomia.
It's close. But notice how all the stripes on the Watermelon peperomia come together at one point, whereas on mine they look like they're going down the "stem."
