de Candolle (1864: 279); Smith & Schubert (1946b: 78, 1952: 39); Smith & Wasshausen (1986: 94).

Typification notes

Smith & Schubert (1946b: 96) cited a duplicate of J.J. Triana 3038 held in Kew as the type of Begonia maurandiae A.DC. This was not correct as this gathering was not cited in the protologue ( de Candolle 1859: 119). We are not aware of any legitimate attempts to lectotypify this name.

Notes

In his account of the Begoniaceae, de Candolle (1864: 279) cited the locality of the syntype W. Jameson 36 (K) as “in Peruviá prope Lloa”. This locality is in Ecuador, and the species is known only from Colombia and Ecuador.
