Description
Plant up to 100 cm. Stem: green. Male flower: outer tepals white to pale pink; inner tepals white to pale pink. Female flower: tepals white to pale pink.
Remarks
This species shares lacerated leaves with B. koelzii and B. shilendrae . Begonia sikkimensis tends to have smaller glabrous leaves with shallower lacerations; also the inflorescences arise from the leaf axils rather than from the rhizome as with B. shilendrae and B. koelzii . The leaves of specimens from the study area are somewhat coarser than those of the type.
