Gray Herb. 184: 138 (1958); M.C. Tebbitt, Novon 23(4): 484 (2015) . Distribution . Peru and Bolivia . Nomenclatural notes . Tebbitt (2015c) attempted to lectotypify Begonia pusilla A.DC. with the specimen H.A. Weddell 4215 (G-DC ex P). Smith & Schubert (1944a) had, however, already effected this lectotypification by citing the same specimen as the type . The earlier typification should be followed (see Article 9.19 of the Shenzhen Code; Turland et al. , 2018). The same is true of Begonia warburgiana Hieron. ( Hieronymus, 1895 ), which Tebbitt attempted to lectotypify based on A. Stübel 24b (B [B100186583]) but cited the same sheet and barcode as the isolectotype . This lectotypification was also effected by Smith & Schubert (1944a) . We note that Tebbitt (2015c) cited the type of Begonia gracillima A.DC. as a Bolivian collection. This specimen was collected by C. Gay, who collected only in Peru and Chile . It was collected in Peru , as indicated by the label, which clearly states ‘Pérou’. This name has not been applied in Bolivia , so we exclude it from this treatment. Identification notes . See the Identification notes for Begonia marinae .
