Thank you Gargji, >From my understanding of the Keys at the above site,
To differentiate the two specis is number of chambers seen in the ovary(seen via a cross cut through the flower), 2 is Begonia crenata, stems holding the flowers is devioid of hairs(glabrous). Crenata is common in Western Maharashtra and Karnataka. 3 chambers is Begonia picta, 2 placenta in 1 chamber each(6). Also picta is a Himalayan species, found in altitude of 800meters and above. Flowering season for both is same Aug to Sep/October. Regards On Fri, 9 Sep 2022, 9:35 pm J.M.
