The large bronze colored leaves of this comparatively new Begonia are quite distinct from any other variety. The habit of the plant is robust, symmetrical, and well-branched from the base. The leaves rising on long petioles give it a free and graceful appearance, showing off the bright red veins on the under side of them. The flower is similar in color to what is produced on the Rex section, only forms larger trusses and on long stalks from the axils of the leaves. It can be easily grown to most any size if the same treatment be given it as required by the Weltoniensis section of Begonias. Propagation is effected by cutting the stalks to single eyes and by leaves, the same as adopted with the Rex section.
