Begonia parvifolia

Begonia parvifolia, the small-leaved begonia, was described by Schott and is native to south-eastern Brazil. The GBIF records used for our measurements come from the Andes of Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, which does not match that range, so they probably belong to another species. The advice below follows the Brazilian Atlantic Forest climate typical of the genus there, and every figure in it is uncertain.

Where it grows wild

Its wild habitat was not described in the sources reached. South-eastern Brazilian begonias mostly grow in the understory of Atlantic Forest, on shaded banks, rocks and stream margins.

No reliable elevation data is available for the Brazilian plants. The 580–2,550 m records in the measured data come from the Andean records that are likely misidentified.
