Begonia martabanica auct . non A.DC.: Hô., Cây Cô Viêt Nam 1: 737, fig. 2048 (1991), Cây Cô Viêt Nam 1: 584, fig. 2332 (1999).

REMARKS

Hô. (1999) reported this species from Dà Lat, Lâm Dông Province. However, his illustration and the specimen at P on which it was based do not resemble this species at all. Begonia martabanica has symmetric leaves, whereas Hô.’s sketch and the specimen have a strongly asymmetric one. Begonia martabanica should therefore be omitted from the flora of Vietnam.

While it is clear that this specimen does not belong to B. martabanica , the specimen on which Hô.’s drawing was based comprises a single detached leaf and infructescence, which is too incomplete to identify with certainty.
