Begonia venosa
Veined Begonia
Morphology
About
Begonia venosa, described by Skan, is a distinctive compact species from rocky Brazilian habitats — growing in bright filtered to light shade on well-drained mineral and organic substrate, with seasonal moisture and good air movement. It is among the most xerophytic of cultivated begonias: thick, succulent-textured leaves are densely coated in fine white hairs that give the entire plant a silvery-grey felted appearance entirely unlike the lush tropical begonias of the forest floor. Stout petioles and the low, compact clumping habit from a short creeping base reflect the plant's adaptation to the seasonal dry periods of its rocky Brazilian habitat. Venosa appeals to the collector who has moved through the standard cane and rex forms and is now looking for something genuinely different — a begonia with the presence of a succulent and the foliage interest of a specialist species.
