Begonia glabra explained

Begonia glabra, the climbing sorrel, is a species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae, native to the New World Tropics.[1] [2] An unusual vining begonia, it is popular in vivariums. Its use in the Winti Afro-Surinamese traditional religion has led to local over-collection.[3]
