Abstract

Seven sections and 50 species and infraspecific taxa of Begonia have been recorded in the Daweishan Range of Yunnan Province, southwestern China. This work aims to analyze the relationships between their geographical distribution and ecology, review their floristic diversity, and elucidate the abundance and horticultural value of Begonia resources in this region.
