Begonia darthvaderiana

Newly published Begonia darthvaderiana 

I got my plant from Taiwan a year ago. I was told that some explorers collected its seeds and propagated some seedlings for sell. This is an extraordinary begonia that was found to be a new Borneo species in the section Petermannia later.

The species was published by a group of Taxonomists in Taiwan and will be available to be seen in Botanical journal very soon.

Begonia darthvaderiana definitely needs high humidity and cooler temperature compared with other Rex Type begonia.
