Begonia bangsamoro

A Begonia from the mountains of northern Mindanao in the Philippines, described in 2021 and named after the Bangsamoro people. It has deeply cut, lacerated leaves and small white to pink flowers, and has been found at roughly 800–1,500 m in Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Sur. Published habitat detail is thin; treat it as a warm-to-intermediate, shade-loving forest begonia that needs high humidity.

Where it grows wild

Montane forest in northern Mindanao, including the Mount Kalatungan range. The sources checked do not say whether it grows on soil, rock or stream banks; like most Philippine forest begonias it probably grows on shaded, moist slopes in the forest understory.

GBIF records give 830 m at Timolan and about 1,480–1,500 m near Valencia City and in Mount Kalatungan Range Natural Park.

Mindanao, Philippines (Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental, Lanao del Sur)
