begoniabegonia
genusgenusDiverse flowering plants known for their asymmetrical leaves that often display stunning patterns, colors, and textures. These adaptable plants can be found naturally growing in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, from dense rainforests to misty mountainsides.
Etymology
The genus was named in honor of Michel Bégon, a French governor of Haiti and patron of botany in the 17th century, making it one of the few plant genera named after a person rather than a characteristic.
Interesting fact!
The leaves are distinctly asymmetrical, with one side larger than the other, which helps them efficiently catch light and channel water to their roots in their natural habitats.
