Begonia antioquiensis

Begonia antioquiensis is an obscure name attributed to Warburg, accepted by GBIF but with almost no data behind it. Its epithet points to Antioquia in Colombia, yet the only GBIF record is an 1890 specimen from the Bolivian Yungas, so even its native range is uncertain. The advice below is a generic guide for Andean montane forest begonias and should be treated as a starting point only.

Where it grows wild

No habitat information is available. Both candidate areas, the Antioquia Andes and the Bolivian Yungas, are dominated by humid montane forest, where begonias typically grow on shaded banks, rocks and stream edges.

No elevation is recorded. Montane forest in both candidate regions spans roughly 1000–2500 m.
