Begonia emeiensis

Begonia emeiensis, the Mount Emei begonia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae. It is native to Sichuan, apparently only to the slopes of Mount Emei, one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China. A rhizomatous perennial that resembles Begonia dielsiana, it is usually 0.5 m tall, and is typically found growing amongst other scrubby vegetation alongside streams at elevations from 900 to 1000 m. The flowers are 4 cm wide, and pale pink. Hardy to −10°C, it is available from commercial suppliers.
