Begonai bornesis

This name is almost certainly a misspelling of a Bornean Begonia (the genus is Begonia, and 'bornesis' suggests 'bornensis'), and no wild records or measured climate exist for it. Treat it as a typical Bornean forest-floor Begonia: warm, very humid, shaded and never dried out. Every value here is a genus-level generalisation.
