Begonia is a large, astonishingly diverse genus of perennials with enormous horticultural appeal. Some begonias are grown for their spectacular blooms, others for their flamboyant and colorful leaves. This book includes concise descriptions, keys, and elegant illustrations of more than 300 commonly cultivated species and cultivars, with additional chapters covering cultural history, cultivation, natural history, and distribution. Mark Tebbitt is a botanist at Brooklyn Botanic Garden, where he manages a research program on the systematics of cultivated ornamental plants, with an emphasis on Begonia.
