Where it grows wild

The collections carry no habitat notes. Begonias of the Tengchong–northern Myanmar region typically grow on shaded, moist slopes, stream banks and rocks in broadleaf forest; this is a general inference.

No elevation is recorded. Tengchong lies at about 1600–1700 m, much higher than the climate sites used.
