Begonia hispida, the piggyback begonia (a name only applied to individuals with leaflets), is a species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae, native to southeastern and southern Brazil.[1] They are occasionally cultivated due to their "piggyback" leaflets which grow directly from veins in the main leaves.[2][3] The piggyback mutation is also seen in Arabidopsis.[4]
