Begonia longiciliata is a species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae, found in Laos and Vietnam, and Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi provinces of China.[1] It is a rhizomatous geophyte with pink flowers and long white hairs on the tops and bottoms of the leave.[2] It is popular in cultivation.[3]
Begonia longiciliata was first collected in 1936, 1958, and 1960,[4] and then documented in 1995 by Wu Cheng-yhi and Ku Tsue-chih.[5] The specific epithet refers to the long, fibre-like hairs found on the adaxial leaf surface of the type specimen.[6] However, not all specimens have hairy leaves.[7]
Taxonomy
[edit]A Begonia specimen was collected in Vietnam along the Red River on November 6, 1996 by Mary Sizemore, about 300 miles from where Wu Cheng-yhi had documented Begonia longiciliata. In 2000, Sizemore's specimen was added to the American Begonia Society's Unidentified Species Listing, where it was designated B. U388.[2] In 2004, it was named Begonia sizemoreae in honor of Sizemore, though it was noted in the publication that others thought B. U388 was not a new species, but a specimen of Begonia longiciliata.[8] In 2020, Begonia sizemoreae was recognized to be a synonym of Begonia longiciliata.[9]
