Thanks for the suggestion Norieth. It may be a Sinnigia but it's not S. leucotricha. I actually grow that at home as a houseplant. It has thick, fuzzy, grey leaves, this plant has large, dull green leaves.

Could belong to the family Gesneriaceae genus Sinningia, There are about 65 species of tuberous herbaceous perennials, all occurring in Central and South America, with the greatest concentration of species occurring in southern Brazil.
