Alocasias
Gingers
Philodendron Selloum
Clumping bamboo (non invasive)
Palms

For me the difficult part is figuring out what evergreen plants to use. Philo Selloum is evergreen here with a mild winter. And the bamboo and palms are evergreen. Melianthus Major is a wild looking plant also. A Loquat tree is also evergreen and pretty tropical looking.
