Begonia 'Immense' is a named variety of Begonia ricinifolia Kent, possibly a good selection. I linked to one above ..

There's another called Begonia manicata which is a little different ..

There's a list of other hybrids crossed with B. x ricinifolia which I just found ..

The clue to being a 'variety' is probably given in " 'Fred Moore' ('Ricinifolia ' v. 'Immense' x 'Leo Rowan')'

B. x ricinifolia is a cross between B. heracleifolia and B. peponifolia ..

So, if there is another cross involved and the name is not know then B. x ricinifolia might still cover it.

This list of named Begonias gives their parentage, it might be useful!
