Notes

Begonia cinnabarina Hook. is widely distributed in Bolivia with a few collections from northern Argentina ( Tebbitt et al. 2018b). In their 1941 account for the Flora of Peru ( Smith & Schubert 1941a), Lyman Bradford Smith and Bernice G. Schubert cite Peruvian material collected by Clarke as B. cinnabarina . We have not seen any material collected by anyone named Clarke from Peru but suspect any such material, if it exists, was collected in Bolivia.
