Begonia alice-clarkiae

Begonia alice-clarkiae is a Mexican begonia described by Ziesenhenne in 1976 in The Begonian, known in the wild from a single collection at Las Pitas near Ocozocoautla in western Chiapas. Most other records are cultivated plants. Its conditions are inferred from the measured climate near the type locality and from other Chiapas begonias, so confidence is low.

Where it grows wild

The habitat is not given on the one wild record. The Ocozocoautla area is limestone upland with ravines and seasonally dry to humid forest, where begonias usually grow on shaded, moist banks and rocks.

The single wild record is from about 800 m near Ocozocoautla.
