{{Inc| Begonia boliviensis, A. DC. Fig. 508. Plant sparsely hairy: st. erect at first, but drooping and becoming slender with age, 2-3 ft. high, branching: Lvs. lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, serrate, 3-5 in. long: fls. in drooping panicles, cinnabar-scarlet, long and fuchsia- like; males twice as long as females. Bolivia. B.M. 5657.—Intro, into England in 1864. It is a very useful basket-plant. This species has recently been crossed with some of the double and single garden forms of the tuberous race (of which this species was one of the ancestors), and has given rise to a pretty and distinct type with long pendulous sts. and drooping fls. which render them most useful as subjects for baskets. B. Bertinii, Hort., is closely allied, and perhaps a form of B. boliviensis. Fls. light scarlet, numerous and large, not so pendent. Gt. 51, p. 550, desc. R.II. 1894, p. 247. There is a dwarf form (var. nana) of this. B. Worthiana, Hort., said to be a seedling of B. boliviensis, with larger and shorter Lvs. and more numerous and less pendent fls. B. bolidavis, Hort., is a hybrid of B. Davisii and B. boliviensis. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
