Begonia abbreviata

A Begonia described by Ching-I Peng and colleagues in 2015 from central Vietnam. Only one wild record exists, from low elevation near the coast of central Vietnam, where the climate is hot with a very wet autumn. Grow it as a warm, humid, shade-loving forest begonia; details beyond that are not published in sources we could reach.
