Tractor Seat Plant - Farfugium japonica var. Gigantea

If you've never seen an old-fashioned, back-in-the-day, tractor seat, all you need to do is look at the shape of the Farfugium Gigantea's leaves to know where its nickname stems from. Farfugiums are also known colloquially as Leopard Plants due to some varieties which are spotted. Gigantea is a green variety, known for its giant leaf size (15-18 inches) compared to the typical Farfugium japonica (8-12 inches).
