{{Inc|
Begonia coccinea, Hook. (B. rubra, Hort. B. maculata, var. corallina, Hort.). Fig. 527. Smooth: sts. tall, succulent: Lvs. on short petioles, obliquely oblong, angular, with wavy red margins, 4-6 in. long: fls. deep coral-red; males ½ in. across, with 4 unequal petals; females more attractive, owing to the length and rich color of the ovary, which has 3 small subequal wings. Brazil. B.M. 3990.—The fls. are very persistent and exceedingly ornamental, especially when planted out. Thrives well in a warm airy greenhouse. One of the most attractive and best-known members of the genus. It has been largely used by the hybridist, the well-known President Carnot being one of its offspring. Intro, from the Organ Mts. of Brazil by William Lobb in 1841.
