Description
American Horticultural Society, October 1952, pg. 237-259; Concerning Rex Begonia, by B. Y. Morrison The following descriptions are recorded from observation notes made of the living collection during 1951-1952: Inimitable. This has not grown well but produces a few very large leaves rather flat and with almost smooth margins. Although said to be an Evansiana cross there has been no suggestion of erect habit. Petioles very pink hairy. Whole leaf silver-green with conspicuous hairs widely distributed over surface. Dark green center shows only as narrow star-like pattern along main veins.
