Begonia U168 was brought back from the Philippines in 1985 by Martin Johnson. It has a compact growth habit and the dark green leaves are splashed and speckled with silver markings. The back of the leaf is red. This is very easy to grow. It is thought to be a sport of a species with large green leaves and white flowers and will occasionally revert back to this green leaved plant.
