Some well-known examples of foliage plants with large leaves include the elephant ear plant, also known as Alocasia; the banana plant, or Musa; and the Swiss cheese plant, or Monstera deliciosa. Other foliage plants with large leaves include the umbrella tree, or Schefflera; the rubber plant, or Ficus elastica; and the bird of paradise, or Strelitzia reginae.
