Begonia molleri
Begonia molleri is a species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae native to São Tomé, with a local distribution between Monte Café and the Pico, Nova Moka (altitude 850 m). It is notable for its "sausage-shaped", wingless fruit.
B. molleri is an epiphyte with a trailing-scandent growth habit, possibly tolerant of deep-shade. It has succulent leaves, which helps the plant conserve water at increased altitudes where humidity is lower.
