B. ‘Hofgartner Vetter’

The Gardener's monthly and horticulturist, v. 25, (1883) B. Hofgartner Vetter: We have here an opportunity of giving an illustration of a Double Begonia, a new class of greenhouse flowers, which has attracted considerable attention in Europe. In this case the doubling appears to have been brought about by the retrogression of the stamens to petals. There are now several varieties of Double Begonias. This one is called "Hofgartner Vetter” and was introduced by Haage & Schmidt, of Erfurt.
