B. subisensis

Cane-like, semi-herbaceous begonia with woody stems ascending, then held at 45°, drooping at apex, arising at intervals from a woody, branched rhizome c. 7-9 mm diam. bearing roots at the nodes, some stem bases bearing adventitious roots. The leaves of this attractive cane begonia have a reflective sheen on the upper surface and are deep pink below. The young plant has variegated leaves. The inflorescence is delicate and, in fruit, the capsule dangles on a long, flexuous pedicel. It has been named for the type locality, G. Subis.
