 Covered with handsome rosy-white flowers. A splendid house Begonia.

 slender branches, gracefully drooping undeT heavy waxen leaves and pendant 

 panicles of coral- colored flowers as large as a hand.

 flo vers in immense panicles of pure white, tinted with pink.

 ant leaves Besides its graceful form, the leaf is distinguished by its glistening, 

 silvery shading following the leaf, the body being a very dark, velveiy-grcen, 

 underside plum color, vein green.
