Sparmannia africana
The Sparmannia has leaves like no other indoor plant; large, matte green and distinctly rough, they are slightly reminiscent of a Holly hock leaf. This plant can grow into a large indoor shrub, but its big delicate leaves are distributed sparingly on its stems giving it an airy and light feeling to a room.
