Begonia festiva

A yellow-flowered Begonia from Thailand, named by Craib in 1930, with almost nothing published about its habit or habitat and no wild GBIF records. The measured site has a hot monsoon climate with a sharp dry season, so these notes lean on that and on what is typical for Thai forest Begonias.
