Wasshausen
et al.
(2013)
excluded
Begonia geraniifolia
Hook.
from their checklist of Bolivian
Begonia
and stated that an earlier citation (
Adolfo María, 1966
) was based on misidentified material. We have been unable to locate a copy of the earlier reference so cannot confirm either that this is a misapplied name or to what specimens and species it was misapplied.
Begonia heliantha
Tebbitt
,
Edinburgh
J. Bot. 73(1): 145 (2016)
.
M.C. Tebbitt, Tuberous Begonias, a Monograph of
Begonia
sect.
Australes
87 (2020).
Notes
. Tebbitt’s monograph of
Begonia
sect.
Australes
includes a map (Tebbitt, 2020: 87) showing two localities for
B. heliantha
Tebbitt
in northern
Bolivia
: one in La Paz Department and one in
Cochabamba Department
. These are tentative records based on identifications from photographs (
Tebbitt, 2016: 148
). We exclude this species from our checklist of Bolivian
Begonia
but include it in our key.
