Begonia apayaoensis

Begonia apayaoensis was described by Merrill in 1918 from Mount Sulu in Apayao, northern Luzon, Philippines, and is known only from the 1917 type collection at about 1000 m. Nothing about its habitat or form is recorded in the sources available here. Treat it as a mid-elevation forest begonia: mild temperatures, high humidity and shade.
