Thanks Garg ji, many thanks to Mark ji too. Begonia rex seems to have numerous cultivars - so went on label the posted plant with the name. However Mark ji's suggested ID, *Begonia imperialis* looks to be more probable and convincing. Will label it accordingly until it gets validated otherwise. Regards. Dinesh
