Begonia auritistipula

Begonia auritistipula is a karst begonia described in 2005 from Chongzuo in south-western Guangxi. It grows under forest on limestone in hot lowlands that have a pronounced cool, dry winter. Little is published beyond the original description, so the advice here comes from the measured site climate and related Guangxi limestone begonias.
