Symbegonia (name refers to the union of parts of the flower), Begoniaceae. A few small herbs, all natives of New Guinea (Afr.), differing from Begonia in the tubular female fls.; the male fls. have the parts distinct. S. fulvo-villosa, Warb., for some time the only known member of the genus, appears to be the only species that has appeared in cult., but is apparently not in the trade: erect herb 8 in. or less high, with red-tinged st. and oblique lance-oblong strongly double-serrate green lvs.: female fls. pale yellow, with 5 spreading serrulate lobes and a 3-winged inferior ovary; male fls. of 2 separate sepals, and 12-20 stamens. B.M. 8409. CH
