BEGONIA MANICATA. 



At the time of the begonia confer- 

 ence, held- at Chiswick nearly twenty- 

 one years ago, Begonia manicata was 

 included among the best fifty species of 

 begonia by Mr. Watson, of Kew, in his 

 paper on the subject. Many begonias 

 have been introduced since then, and 

 garden forms innumerable have made 

 their appearance, but there can be no 

 question that B. manicata of- the true 

 species is still fully entitled to the posi- 

 tion in which it was then placed. Many 

 would go even further, and, from a 

 flowering point of view, include it in 

 the first twelve. Given a warm or in- 

 termediate temperature, this species 

 will bear during the winter a profusion 

 of light, elegant blossoms. It forms a 

 short, stout stem of a somewhat succu- 

 lent nature, while the large, solid-look- 

 ing leaves are of a smooth, shining 

 green tint. The stalks are long and 

 conspicuous, by reason of being clothed 

 with large, scale-like hairs. The flower 

 scape is quite erect, and reaches a 

 height of two feet to three feet, the 

 upper half consisting of the loosely dis- 

 posed flower panicle, which branches 

 freely and bears a great number of 

 small but pretty pink blossoms. For 

 grouping purposes in the early months 

 of the year it is extremely useful, and 

 is pretty as a decorative flower. Some 

 forty years ago it was extensively 

 grown by the late Hermann Herbst, of 

 Richmond, for the supply of cut flow- 

 ers, which at that time found a ready 

 Bale in Covent Garden. 



The typical Begonia manicata is a 

 native of Mexico, and was introduced 

 as long ago as 1842. There are two 

 well-marked varieties of it now in culti- 

 vation — one, aureo-maculata, the leaves 

 of which have large blotches of a 

 golden yellow tint; and a singular form, 

 crispa, the foliage of which is remark- 

 ably crimped and crisped. This last is 

 more curious than beautiful. 



The cultural requirements of Begonia 

 manicata are not at all exacting, as it 

 is of vigorous growth and will thrive 

 in ordinary potting compost. Insect 

 pests, too, give no trouble. It is strict- 

 ly of an evergreen nature, and must 

 therefore be kept watered at all sea- 

 son. — Gardeners ' Chronicle.
