Begonia azuensis

Begonia azuensis is a Dominican Republic begonia described by Urban and Ekman in 1930. The one labelled specimen is from Loma Nalga de Maco in the Cordillera Central, on a steep slope of hard limestone at 1750 m. That makes it a cool montane plant. The measured climate is from a lower fallback point and is too warm, so the temperature targets are adjusted down for altitude.

Where it grows wild

The specimen label reads: steep slope of hard Eocene limestone on Loma Nalga de Maco, Cordillera Central. At this altitude the site is montane cloud or broadleaf forest, so the plant probably grows in shade to dappled light on rock.

Collected at 1750 m.
