Begonia asterida

Begonia asterida is a name published by C. Chevalier in 1938 in his book on begonias, without a Latin description, so it may not be validly published. GBIF has a single specimen with no locality, and no native range is known. It is treated here as a generic fibrous-rooted begonia and all advice is general.
