Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Begonia glabra, also known as the climbing sorrel, is a flowering plant found in the New World Tropics. It is a unique type of begonia that is often used in vivariums. However, its popularity in the Winti Afro-Surinamese traditional religion has resulted in over-collection in its native habitat.
