de Candolle (1864: 311); Smith & Schubert (1950: 241).

Notes

The author cited the type specimen in the protologue as “in Mexico?” (de Candolle 1859: 126) but in his 1864 account of the Begoniaceae (de Candolle 1864: 311) cited the same specimen as “In Mexico? Vel Peruviá”. Begonia boisseri is endemic to Mexico, and there is no indication on the label of the type specimen that it was collected in Peru.
