Hi,
Uli suggested that we are calling this by the wrong name so I looked it up
in IPNI and Tropicos to see if I needed to change the wiki. The name that
Uli said was correct was not found in either place. I never knew there were
so many Begonia species.
This is what I found:
IPNI showed two species with similar names published in 1859.
Begoniaceae Begonia boliviensis A.DC.
Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. sér. 4, 11: 122. 1859
Begoniaceae Begonia boiviniana A.DC.
Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. sér. 4, 11: 130. 1859
Both of those were in the same journal and I'm assuming are different species.
Tropicos has those two plus:
Begonia boiviana DC.
Published in:
Annales des Sciences Naturelles; Botanique, série 4 11: 130. 1859.
{Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot., ser. 4, ; BPH 113.17S4}
Since it also had the other spelling that IPNI had for the same reference,
one of them is probably wrong unless there are three species.
Tropicos lists 6 publications supporting Begonia boliviensis:
