This member of the Begoniaceae family was given this name by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1868. It is found in Congo, South Africa, Tanzania, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Eswatini, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaïre and Tanzania, growing in a well drained but rich soil with quite some water and some sun. The caudex can grow to six centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to 50 centimetres in height. The flowers are orange over apricot to pink.
The genera name after Michel Bégon, 1638-1710, once a governor of French Haiti. The species name honours Dr. Peter C. Sutherland, 1822-1900, an English plant collector.
