Plant
- Description
- The whole growth, and also the form of the leaf, reminds us of B. sanguinea, that one should believe to see only a variety of the same. The stalk is likewise shrubby and quite strong. The leaves are obliquely bold and not connected to the petiolar base, but separated, small and unequally toothed on the hand, dark-green on the surface, and pallid on the surface, but not pale as Begonia sanguinea, but on the nerves and veins with rather long white hair; also, the whole stem, and also the leaves, and especially the flower-stalks, are covered with long whitish hairs. The flowers are only small and white; in the male flowers, the flower-leaf is quadrilateral, with two large rounded petals, and two much smaller long ones, which have a somewhat greenish shimmer. We do not have any female flowers on our own. The mature but not yet ripe fruits are greenish, triple-lobed, with red rounded wings, one of which is somewhat wider than the other two, and especially upward.
