I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Begonia Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links. Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details. If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful. Any comments/ corrections are welcome. .

If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), it will be really nice. Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let us know. This is reply of your mail regarding Begonia pictures. As regards to Begonia pictures, I can provide you pictures of Begonia andamensis Parish ex C.B.Clarke from its natural habitats in Andaman Islands. There is an article on this taxon titled ‘Natural history of Begonia andamanensis – an endangered wild Begonia from Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal’ by Mathew S P, Santhoshkumar E S and Murugan in Begonia Australis 23:37-39 (2013) explaining interesting details on the same.
