Dear all, is this identification right? please correct me if I am wrong. This is Begonia dipetala var dipetala and not B. malabarica. Begonia malabarica is an endemic species in Kerala. All the names published under the name B. malabarica from other part of India need a careful study. Thank you …, what are the peculiar character that diffrentiate B.dipetala from B.malabarica? As you said, it is being reported from TN too. Source: An excursion flora of Central TN by K M Mathew
