Begonia guangxiensis

A begonia described by C.Y. Wu in 1997 from Guangxi, southern China. The few records lie in the low karst hills of central-west Guangxi at 160 to 280 m, where summers are hot and wet and winters cool and dry. Little else is published, so grow it like a Guangxi limestone begonia.

Where it grows wild

Recorded from the karst hills of central-west Guangxi at 160 to 280 m. The region is dominated by limestone, which suggests it grows on shaded limestone rocks like many Guangxi begonias, though this is not confirmed here.

Recorded at 166 to 280 m.
