Juicy herbs, up to 40 cm (Begonia hirtella) or 90 cm (Begonia muricata) tall. Leaf-blades obliquely ovate-cordate, 2.5 cm x 2—7 cm in Begonia hirtella, 4.5—17.5 cm x 4.5—13 cm in Begonia muricata, petioles short in Begonia hirtella, up to 25 cm long in Begonia muricata. Both species like humid, stony sites, but Begonia muricata grows at higher altitudes (1000—2000 m) than Begonia hirtella (up to 1300 m). In New Guinea and the Philippines several other Begonia species are eaten as a vegetable.
