Begonia amphioxus

This impressively dotted, beautiful begonia is an absolute rarity because it has only been found in the wild on a limestone rock in Sabah on the island of Borneo. It has a compact growth habit and only reaches a maximum height of 40 cm, which makes it suitable for keeping in a terrarium.
