Family Begoniaceae
Begonias are tropical plants which are widely grown for
their ornamental flowers and foliage. The name Begonia is
in honour of Michel Begon who was a 17th century Governor
of Canada and a patron of the sciences. There are many
species and varieties of Begonia that can be divided into
two groups, the fibrous-rooted begonias which are fairly
hardy, and tuberous begonias which have swollen underground
tubers.
