Begonia aurora

Begonia aurora is a begonia described in 2020 from Fangchenggang in southern Guangxi, near the Gulf of Tonkin. The single georeferenced record is from lowland forest at about 65 m, in a very wet, warm monsoon climate with mild winters. Almost nothing is published about its habitat or cultivation, so the targets here are inferred from the measured climate and from typical shade-loving Guangxi begonias.
