Begonia albida-setulosa

An old name published by Hasskarl in the Bogor Botanic Garden catalogue (1844), still listed as accepted by GBIF but with no wild records at all. Its wild origin is unclear, so every figure here is a generic guess for a Malesian forest begonia and should be treated as such.
