Treatment

Begonia geraniifolia Hook.f. View in CoL , Bot. Mag. 62, pl. 3387 (1835).

D.C. Wasshausen et al. in P.M. JØrgensen et al. (eds), Cat. Bolivia, Monogr. Syst. Bot. Missouri Bot. Gard. 129: 385 (2013).

Notes. Wasshausen et al. (2013) excluded Begonia geraniifolia Hook. from their checklist of Bolivian Begonia and stated that an earlier citation ( Adolfo María, 1966) was based on misidentified material. We have been unable to locate a copy of the earlier reference so cannot confirm either that this is a misapplied name or to what specimens and species it was misapplied.

Begonia heliantha Tebbitt View in CoL , Edinburgh J. Bot. 73(1): 145 (2016).

M.C. Tebbitt, Tuberous Begonias, a Monograph of Begonia sect. Australes 87 (2020).

Notes. Tebbitt’s monograph of Begonia sect. Australes includes a map (Tebbitt, 2020: 87) showing two localities for B. heliantha Tebbitt View in CoL in northern Bolivia: one in La Paz Department and one in Cochabamba Department. These are tentative records based on identifications from photographs ( Tebbitt, 2016: 148). We exclude this species from our checklist of Bolivian Begonia View in CoL but include it in our key.
