''Begonia daunhitam'' is noted for its strongly bullate, dark foliage. | |||
Stems: Erect to 20 cm, 4–8 mm in diameter. Old stems are yellowish and slightly woody; young parts are red to brownish, fleshy, and succulent. | |||
Leaves: Alternate, simple, up to 10 on branched stems. The blade is elliptic-ovate to oblong-ovate, 13–20 cm long and 7–10 cm wide. The base is cordate and unequal (strongly asymmetric). | |||
Leaf Color & Texture: The adaxial (upper) surface is dark olive to solid black (dark bluish-green when immature) and is strongly bullate, giving it a bubbly appearance. The abaxial (lower) surface is light red to crimson. | |||
