Begonia bogneri
Grass Begonia
Morphology
About
Begonia bogneri, described by Ziesenh., is a miniature rhizomatous species native to humid rocky habitats in Madagascar — growing on sharply drained substrate in warm, brightly filtered conditions with consistent atmospheric humidity. It is one of the most anomalous members of the genus in cultivation: the plant produces a compact tuft of very narrow, grass-like linear leaves borne on fine reddish petioles from a miniature base, bearing no resemblance whatsoever to the broad asymmetric leaves that characterise most cultivated Begonias. This extreme leaf reduction into near-linear blades, combined with the Madagascan origin and the plant's compact scale, places bogneri firmly in the category of botanical curiosity — a species that specialists in Begonia or in Madagascan flora seek out precisely because it challenges every assumption about what the genus looks like.

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.
