I inherited a plant that looks like this:

http://www-mslmb.niddk.nih.gov/ronni...es/begonia.htm

The photographer of this image identifies it as a Begonia. However, I'm
suspicious, because I scanned through 20 pages of google image search
for "begonia", and none of the other images look like this.

So can anyone on this list help me? Is this really a begonia, and if
so, what variety? Or is it something else?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I'm sure that isn't a begonia. I thought it might be some sort of Iresine, but I don't think so as their colors are more vairable.

Did you find out what it is?

Looks like a fittonia to me:
