| History | Begonia circumlobata is a hardy, rhizomatous begonia species that is native to the mountains of China and northern Vietnam, found at elevations above 4,000 ft. The species is quite variable in the wild; this especially attractive form was collected by Dan Hinkley's fellow explorer Shayne Chandler, in the mountains of the Guangxi Province of southern China, where it was found growing in shaded woodland at an elevation of 5,000 ft. |
