Begonia liuyanii

Begonia liuyanii was described in 2005 by C.I. Peng and colleagues from the limestone karst of southwestern Guangxi, China. Its records range from 200 to 720 m in a monsoon climate with hot wet summers and cool, dry winters. It belongs to a group of karst begonias that grow on shaded limestone and in cave mouths; cultivation advice is inferred from that habitat.
