Begonia glabra a scandent species in the Amazon rainforest of Peru

---

There are about 2000 species of begonias. The plants are monoecious (having separate male and female flowers), which can be seen on this picture, with a female inflorescence at left, showing immature winged capsules, and a male inflorescence at right, which has already lost several flowers. To see my 17 images of Begonias in their natural habitat, search for "Begonia:Atlantic Forest" and "Begonia Amazon rainforest".
