Begonia pilderifolia
C.DC.
Bull. Herb.
Boissier, ser. 2, 1: 315 (1901)
, Type:
Brazil
,
Ceará
, Serra do Baturite,
September 1897
, C. Huber 284 (
syntypes
MG, P, G, G-BOISS).
Although
Begonia pilderifolia
was first described by A.C.P. de Candolle in
B.
sect.
Pilderia
, it has since been shown to be synonymous with
B. saxicola
A.DC.
in
B.
sect.
Donaldia
(Jacques & Mamede 2005)
. This section is distantly related to
B.
sect.
Pilderia
and placed in Neotropical Clade 1 (Moonlight
et al.
2015). We note that
B. pilderifolia
requires a
lectotype
, but as it is beyond the scope of our revision we are reluctant to do so.
