Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Begonia fuchsioides, Hook. Smooth: rootstock woody, not prominent: sts. slender and erect, 2-3 ft., succulent: Lvs. many and small, ovate, 1½ in. long, tinged with red when young: fls. drooping like a fuchsia, rich scarlet, males with 4 petals, females with 5 petals. Mex.—Requires the conditions of a warm airy greenhouse. If kept in a moist close atmosphere it is apt to damp off badly, and if kept too warm it makes a lot of growth and produces very few fls. It rapidly forms a large specimen if kept growing, and is a most attractive plant for greenhouse decoration during winter and spring months. Var. miniata, Lind. (B. cinnabarina, Hort.), differs only in having flesh-colored fls. and smaller Lvs.
