Begonia axillaris

Begonia axillaris is a begonia described by Ridley in 1906 and listed by Kew as native to Sumatra. The one georeferenced record is in the Riau Islands, near sea level. Almost nothing is known about its habitat, so these targets are low-confidence estimates for a lowland Malesian forest begonia in a hot, wet, humid climate.
