- Veitch’s' Catalog. of Pl. 1899, p. 53. Hortus Veitchii: London: J. Veitch & sons, 1906. Page 231-34 Item: http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/196248 A hybrid raised at Chelsea from the remarkable Burmese species Begonia Burkei crossed with the Malaysian B. decora. The leaves resemble those of an Acer in outline, with silvery blotches on a dark bronzy-green ground. There is a species B. acerifolia, in comparatively common cultivation, with which this hybrid must not be confused.
