' Begonia trigonoptera is closely allied to B. heracleifolia, 
Cham. et Schlecht., from which the shape of the ovary-body an 
wings serve to distinguish it. B. trigonoptera has an oblong 
ovary with very unequal wings, the largest being conspicuously 
triangular, and the smaller ones very narrow. 3B. heracleifolia 
and its varieties have an elliptic ovary with a rounded principal 
wing, and comparatively broad subsidiary ones.
