Begonia dentatobracteata

A rarely recorded begonia that C.Y. Wu described in 1995 from the upper Salween (Nujiang) region, where north-western Yunnan borders northern Myanmar. It grows under a monsoon climate, with warm, very wet summers and cool, dry winters. Only two wild records exist and nothing on its habit or ecology was found, so this profile rests on the single measured site and on other begonias from the same region.

Where it grows wild

Its habitat has not been documented in sources reached here. Begonias of the Nujiang–Kachin region typically grow in moist, shaded evergreen forest, on ravine slopes and damp rocks.

Neither record carries an elevation. The one climate site was corrected to about 1650 m, which is plausible for the valley slopes.
