Found this rather interesting herb at growing on large boulders about 10-50 metres from a mountain stream in Pahang, Peninsula Malaysia.
There appear to be 2, or 3 colour forms. The nicest is perhaps the very pale green one with red veins.
Addenda: Appears to be Begonia holttumii.

Never seen anything like it, most unusual.
It sort of looks like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/16132992@N06/5083800437/
However, handelii is found in northern Vietnam and south China.
Hi George,
B. handelii is a terrestrial that eventually grows very large and has thick creeping rhizomes. This one looks rather like B. alpinia except it has 2 instead of 4 tepals.
