Begonia angustiloba

Begonia angustiloba is a Mexican begonia of seasonally dry pine-oak and tropical deciduous woodland in western and southern Mexico, at about 450-2,600 m. It grows on road banks and slopes that are soaked by the summer monsoon and bone-dry in winter. Like other Mexican begonias of dry pine-oak country, it most likely dies back to a tuber in the dry season.
