Begonia goegoensis, the fire-king begonia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae, native to Sumatra.[1][2] In 1882 it was exhibited by Veitch and Sons and received a first class certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society.[3][4] Valued for its striking red-backed leaves, it can be propagated from cuttings, although seeds may do better.[4][5][3]
