Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the Begoniaceae The preparation of this paper was prompted by the need for more knowledge of both the taxonomic history of the group and of the floral morphology of the members of the genus Begonia. As a material for the study, the flowers of the species currently available in greenhouses in the Boston area have been used. When selecting these species, all garden varieties and hybrids were excluded and twenty-three species noteworthy for their rareness were studied. Most of those species are from the Neotropical region (brazil lo, Mexico 3, the Americas 1, Argentina l, Bolivia 1, Colombia 1) and the remainder from the Paleotropical region (india 2, indo-china l, Sumatra 2, Tropical Africa All these plants occur in wild condition in the aforementioned regions.
