I think this could be B pustulata. Here's a picture Brian Williams sent me years ago and I think that's what this is.

Here's mine showing the habit a bit better. Notice how it is crawling out of the pot.

Awesome. Just how I pictured it. Thanks!

Here's a nice Brazilian Begonia. It's B. crispula and is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
I've had 2 plants for awhile now, one that hasn't gotten any larger than a couple of inches across and a maximum of 4 leaves. Then there is this one that has really shown itself to be a strong grower. The plant is about 7 inches across. I've read some accounts of this species being tough to grow and other accounts not mentioning that. I guess my 2 plants represent both situations. Anyway, the larger plant had a very interesting and normal growth pattern of the leaves laying flat on the substrate. A month or so ago it went through an accidental drought. lol. The leaves cupped up a bit and multiple new plants started sprouting from the base. I'm going to try and cut the plant apart as I don't enjoy this clustered growth as much. Just in case it doesn't appreciate that, I thought I would share a picture. Not the nicest photo, but I hope the distinctiveness of this species comes through.

I always figured neps would turn out to be a complete PITA planted in vivs, being that you can't really disturb their roots

Scindapsus pictus, Ledebouria socialis, and a few forms of Philodendron hederaceum (Brasil, aureus, and Frilly Philly)

A. papillilaminum is such a great species. Yours looks nice and healthy.

While I'm at it, I'll post a few pics of Begonias. First pic is Begonia alchemilloides (on the right) and B. sp. Borneo.
The second pic is B. chlorosticta
