Identifying a Wavy-Edged Houseplant from a Coffee Table

Mystery Plant with Pie-Crust Leaf Edges

Myra fell for a plant at a luncheon: long leaves, some upright, some arching, with distinctively rippled edges like a pie crust. The host thought it a fern, but leaves were solid. Online searches came up empty.

Expert Suggestion: Likely a Begonia Variety

Darlene suggests it may be a begonia type and recommends searching "begonia" in Google Images. Without a photo, precise ID is difficult. She offers to identify it if Myra emails a digital picture to Plantlady6@aol.com.

Possible Candidates

Plants with similarly wavy, solid leaves include certain Begonia rex cultivars, Peperomia caperata (emerald ripple), or Asplenium nidus (bird's nest fern) varieties—though the latter has broader fronds.
