Inflorescences axillary, cymes, bisexual or separate male and female or rarely bisexual and male, with male flowers basal and female flowers distal, protrandrous; bracts persistent (during flowering) or caducous. Flowers with perianth segments white, pink, or red. Male flowers with 4 or rarely 2 (B. gamolepis) free perianth segments or segments fused in a bilabiate and short (e. g., B. kalbreyeri) or cylindric and long tube (e. g., B. lehmanii); filaments free or rarely fused in short axis, anthers oblong, longer than or rarely about as long as (B. colombiana) or shorter than the filaments (B. umbellata), dehiscent with laterally positioned longitudinal slits (more than 0.5 of the anther length), connective usually extended. Female flowers with or without 2 bracteoles inserted directly beneath the ovary, 4 – 6 perianth segments, free or fused; ovary or fruit with 3 wings, wings equal in fruit, developed into horns or rarely not (B. trianae), locules 3, placentation axillary, placental branches 1 or 2 per locule, styles 3, free to fused more than halfway, usually irregularly branched, or rarely not branched (B. solaniflora) or forked once (Begonia trujillensis), caducous in fruit, stigma not kidney-shaped, in a band and not spiraled or contracted near the style apex. Fruit a capsule dehiscent at the back of the carpels, more or less erect and hanging at maturity.	en	Jara-Munoz, Orlando A., Richardson, James E., Madrinan, Santiago (2019): Character Evolution and Recircumscription of the Northern Andean Begonia Section Casparya (Begoniaceae).

03CB87FBFFDD9238FF3CFAD4FC0C97DD.taxon	distribution	Distribution and Habitat — From the Cordillera de Talamanca (Costa Rica) to central Peru, between 500 and 3200 m. Casparya species inhabit mostly humid locations in undisturbed montane forest.	en	Jara-Munoz, Orlando A., Richardson, James E., Madrinan, Santiago (2019): Character Evolution and Recircumscription of the Northern Andean Begonia Section Casparya (Begoniaceae).

03CB87FBFFDC9239FF28FF4AFE589233.taxon	discussion	Examination of the type specimens as well as specimens labeled under both names in the herbaria K, E, US, and MO do not show differences. There is continuous variation in density and type of pubescence, flower size, and leaf texture, all these characters that according to Irmscher (1949) allows to differentiate B. raimondii from B. hirta. Irmscher did not cite a holotype for B. raimondii, and the syntypes hosted at B were not found and were possibly destroyed. Raimondii 2982 was the first collected and first cited specimen in the protologue, however we do not have duplicates so we designated the other syntype cited in the protologue, Weberbawer 6639, which has a duplicate at US, as the lectotype.	en	Jara-Munoz, Orlando A., Richardson, James E., Madrinan, Santiago (2019): Character Evolution and Recircumscription of the Northern Andean Begonia Section Casparya (Begoniaceae).
