Plant

Description: Curtis’s Botanical Magazine v. 63 = ser. 2, v. 10, 1836 B. fischeri This plant, which has small flowers, but exquisitely beautiful foliage, was received at the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh from Berlin, in 1835, and flowered in the stove in February and March 1836. Description: Stem erect, branched, fleshy, swollen at the joints, red, shining. Leaves unequally cordate, acute, indistinctly sinuated, slightly undulate, unequally dentato-serrate, glabrous on both sides, when -young bright red behind, paler at the veins, and pink above, with a peculiar silvery luster which continues on the old leaves, the color being then beautifully delicate yellowish green, and the redness behind much less considerable; petioles nearly round, half as long as the leaves. Stipules large, ovate, acute, entire. Peduncles axillary, twice as long as the petioles. Cyme twice or oftener forked; branches divaricated. Male flowers in the forks of the cyme, four-petalous, the outer petals rounded, with a sinuosity on one side where the pedicel is attached, hollow in the center, with flattened, slightly revolute edges, forming a perfect miniature of a barber's basin; inner petals obovato-cuneate, undulate. Stamens united only at their insertion. Female flowers 6- petalous, the petals ovato-lanceolate. Germen rather unequally winged, the wings unequally rounded. - Graham.; as Begonia tovarensis Kl.

Stem erect, red. Branches short. Leaves more or less asymmetric, broadly ovate or suborbicular, acute or rounded, cordate at base, 2-9 cm. long, palminerved, crenate-serrate, ciliate, glabrous above, petioles 5-45 mm. long, stipules ovate-oblong, to 10 mm. long, ciliate-serrulate. Cymes axillary, few-flowered, peduncle 15-45 mm. long. Bracts persistent, ovate, 2-4 mm. long, fimbriate. Pedicels 5- 17 mm. long. Staminate tepals 4, the outer orbicular, 8 mm. long, the inner smaller, narrowly obovate. Stamens free, numerous, filaments short, anthers oblong. Pistillate tepals 5, obovate, 3-4 mm. long. Styles 3, 2-parted, the stigmatic tissue linear, spiral, continuous, placentae bilamellate. Capsule 10- 15 mm. long, its wings decurrent, very unequal, the largest usually ascending, tapering and often hooked, to 23 mm. wide, seeds curved with attenuate apices. - F.M. Neg. 20901.
