Could it be the iron cross begonia?

Here is a link that might be useful: Begonia masoniana

B. masoniana is not it since the leaf edges are entire and this one is described as cleft/lobed.

if you have a picture of the plant, this is the best way to get an ID.

i would guess that your plant is probably rhizomatous. a good place to start would be the houston begonia society's pictoral key. while it doesn't begin to list the hundreds of species and cultivars, you can alway get a good idea about care etc. once you've narrowed it down. i'll set a link to the cv. pictoral key, and you can always search the species page from there.

good luck,

The comment about the pot plant got me thinking and I finally dredged up a couple names you might check out; there's at least one more I can't remember. B. macdouglei and B. luxurians both have those 'fingered' leaves like pot. I've never grown luxurians but from the pictures it looks like they're kind of droopy fingers, maybe more like some palms. If I remember the other one I've grown I'll add it! I just hate not remembering names!

Ming, I dont see where the reference to being cleft lobed came from. All that lockland said was that the leaves are hairy and dark green/black.

please read it again, larry:

"The leaves look somewhat like a pot plant, anyone have any ideas?"

right now the descriptor is too general to really tag on any definitive ID, but a picture would really help!
