Culture
- Original Botanical Description or Link to
- 1860 Le Bon Jardinier New Begonias BEGONIA amabilis, Linden. - This species appears in all its parts less strong and less robust than the following. The stem, very short and collected on itself, gives rise to long and slender, rounded petioles, of a purplish brown and covered with rather soft whitish hairs. Its leaves, of mediocre size, obscurely lobed-toothed, are shiny above, of a dark green on which is drawn a silver band in the form of an italic V. The underside of the leaf, dark carmine in the center and on the circumference, is of a pale green in the rest of its extent.
