begonian.

/bɪˈɡəʊnɪə/

Etymology: Named by Plumier after Michel Begon, a French promoter of botany, 1638–1710.

A genus of succulent under-shrubs and herbaceous plants, mostly of tropical nativity, having flowers without petals but with coloured perianths, and often richly-coloured foliage, for the sake of which many species are cultivated as ornamental plants. Said by Loudon to have been introduced into Great Britain from Jamaica in 1777, but little cultivated before 1840.
