Begonia teuscheri

Begonia teuscheri is a Malaysian begonia described in 1879 by Linden and André from plants brought into European horticulture. Kew lists Malaya as its only native region and Wikipedia calls it endemic to Malaysia, but we found no modern field description and there are no wild GBIF records. Treat it as a warm, humid lowland-forest begonia and expect the details below to be approximate.

Where it grows wild

No field description was found. The only climate point we have is a warm, very wet lowland site in Peninsular Malaysia. Begonias there usually grow in shaded, humid forest, on moist banks, slopes and rocks near streams, and this species probably does the same. The habitat is inferred from the region and the genus, not recorded for this species.

No elevation data.
