Begonia afromigrata

Begonia afromigrata was described in 2011 from western Thailand. It is known from Kanchanaburi and Tak provinces in Thailand and from Laos. Specimens record it on limestone in forest and on tree bark in lower montane forest at 650–890 m, under a monsoon climate with a sharp dry season. Its name, Latin for 'migrated from Africa', reflects its links to African begonias.
