Begonia rosaeflora. Hook. Stout: petioles, scapes, bracts, and stipules bright red: Lvs. green, 2-4 in. wide, on stout, hairy petioles, 2-6 in. long, orbicular, reniform, concave, margins lobed, red, toothed: fls. 2 in. across, rose-red. Andes of Peru, 12,000 ft. Intro, in 1867. B.M. 5680.—Light-colored seedlings of this species gave rise to Queen of Whites, put into commerce in 1878, and apparently an important factor in subsequent garden forms of the same color. The species itself is probably not now in cult. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
