Begonia bipinnatifida
Fern-Leaf Begonia
Morphology
About
Begonia bipinnatifida, described by J.J.Smith, is a rare rhizomatous species from the humid montane and lowland tropical forests of New Guinea, growing in warm, shaded, moist conditions on organic substrate. Its distinction lies entirely in its foliage: the leaves are deeply bipinnatifid — divided and then further divided again into narrow, toothed lobes — producing a feathery, highly dissected silhouette that is almost fern-like and entirely unlike the typical Begonia leaf form. Borne on red petioles from a creeping rhizome with reddish undersides accentuating the delicate lobes, bipinnatifida is one of the more structurally unusual Begonias in collector cultivation. It appeals strongly to those whose interest in the genus extends beyond the typical cane and rex forms into genuine botanical oddity.

Historical auction metrics and live online retailer listings updated weekly.
How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
