About
A rare begonia from humid montane and lowland tropical forest in New Guinea. It grows in warm, shaded, humid conditions on moist organic substrate where its finely divided foliage rises from a creeping rhizomatous base. It is notable for its deeply bipinnatifid leaves composed of narrow, toothed lobes. The foliage is airy and highly dissected, borne on red petioles from a creeping rhizome, with reddish undersides enhancing its delicate yet dramatic appearance.
