Begonia gracilis, HBK. (B. bicolor, Wats. B. diversifolia, It. Grab.). Smooth and shining, tall and st. erect, seldom branched, succulent: Lvs. thinly scattered along sts., almost heart-shaped, slightly hairy, lobed, denticulate, ciliate: fls. on short, axillary peduncles, pink. Mex. B.M. 2966.—In axils of Lvs. between stipules a cluster of bulblets is borne. These may be gathered and sown as seeds. Along with its varieties, annulata, diversifolia, Martiana, and others, it makes a very beautiful summer-flowering greenhouse begonia. —Intro, by P. Neill, of Cannonmills. Edinburgh, in 1829. This species should be treated in exactly the same way as the garden race of tuberous begonias as to cult. The variety Martiana is a large-fld. form with rose-colored fls. and frequently reaches 5 ft. in height. It is a pretty and desirable greenhouse plant, producing a succession of fls. for 2-3 months during the summer. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
