4. Begonia masoniana Irmsch. View in CoL
Begonia masoniana auct . non Irmsch.: Hô. (B. “ massoniana ”), Cây Cô Viêt Nam 1: 584, fig. 2333 (1999).
REMARKS
Hô. (1999) figured this species as Begonia “ massoniana ” based on a specimen collected by Nguyen Quang Hieu (pers. comm.). However, the leaves illustrated are different in shape being narrowed to the apex whereas B. masoniana Irmsch. has more rounded leaves. As yet B. masoniana is known only from southern China. The Vietnamese plant is likely to be an undescribed species. Begonia masoniana should therefore be excluded from the flora of Vietnam.
