Aside from B. acuminatissima, this species closely resembles B. absiana . However, B. amorosoana can be readily recognized by having broadly ovate stipules, prominently keeled except the basal 1 / 4 with abruptly tapering apex (vs lanceolate stipules, prominently keeled throughout their length with gradually tapering apex), glabrous, sparsely lenticellate petiole (vs sericeous, non-lenticellate petiole), inflorescence shorter than or equal to the leaves (vs inflorescence longer than leaves), ovary wings unequal with obtuse (median wing) to rounded (lateral wings) apex (vs ovary wings equal with rounded apex). Ecologically, the two species occupy distinct niches: B. absiana is strictly karst-dependent, while B. amorosoana inhabits rock walls or terrestrial environments.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7D23A6D929D25A5BB11A556782E7FED8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The choice of epithet serves to emphasize the biogeographic importance of this central Philippine island, which functions as a distinct centre of diversity and endemism within the West Visayas. This discovery adds to the growing list of taxa unique to Panay, reinforcing the need for focused conservation efforts in its remaining forest fragments.</p><p>Preliminary IUCN conservation assessment</p><p>At present, the species is found to occur in three localities where &lt;60 mature individuals were observed with an estimated EOO of 396 km 2 and AOO of 12 km 2. Two localities are in unprotected areas with observed anthropogenic activities such as cow and goat grazing and expansion of agricultural land. One locality was found within Northwest Panay Peninsula Natural Park, a designated protected area since 2002 under the National Integrated Protected Areas System Act, Philippines (UNEP-WCMC 2022). Following IUCN Standards and Petitions Committee (2024), we propose B. panayica to be classified as Endangered: EN B 1 ab (i, ii, iii) + 2 ab (i, ii, iii).</p><p>Morphological affinities</p><p>Among Begonia sect. Baryandra in Panay Island, this new species is comparable to B. collisiae Merr.

It is also similar to B. titoevangelistae Tandang &amp; Rubite from southeastern Luzon (Tandang et al. 2016), however, B. panayica differs significantly in having deltate stipule with cuspidate apex (vs ovate stipule with acuminate apex), sparsely strigose, lenticellate petiole (vs sericeous, non-lenticellate petiole), and ovary / capsule with unequal wings (vs ovary / capsule with equal wings).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/D343CF1797445B2CB9D9DD31D61EA758	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
