BEGONIA BOLIVIENSIS. 
This beautiful and singular plant, introduced from Bolivia, is a bulbous-rooted deciduous kind, 
attaining an average height of 2 feet. 
The foliage is light green, and the flowers bright glossy rod, very freely produced, generally in 
pairs, but sometimes three together. The male blooms are as large again as the females, averaging 
more than 2 inches in length, of a compressed bell-shaped form, the two sepals being oblong- 
lanceolate, the two petals decussate with the sepals, similar in shape, but narrower. Is. fid. and 2s. fid.
