This plant has fine and peculiar foliage, but the flowers are 
very small for a Begonia, and most difficult to produce. Mr. D. 
Bowman sent it from Brazil, some years since; and although 
the plant grew freely, yet it has only quite recently flowered. 
It requires abundance of heat and moisture, and to be kept from 
the mid-day sun.—W. W. S.
