Begonia carminata, Veitch. A handsome hybrid, the result of a cross between B. coccinea and B. Dregei: plant erect or nearly so, branching freely: st. green, shining: Lvs. obliquely ovate-acuminate, deeply toothed, light green: fls. rosy scarlet in large pendulous cymes.— The male fls. do not remain on the plant long, the main feature being the large bright rosy scarlet female fls. and their brightly colored ovaries which remain on the plant for a considerable period. In this respect it greatly resembles its parent, B. coccinea. It is a very fine greenhouse plant and should be in every collection.
