Description

A lacerate-leaved Begonia which has a main stem, triangular lobes to the leaf blade and fruit with a main wing that is 4–5 cm long. Begonia longialata is reported by Gu et al. (2007) as endemic to Yunnan, however, photographs have been taken in Manipur, on route to Khayang from Ukhrul (Macer 2013) of a caulescent plant with lacerate leaves which could potentially represent this species in our study region; no herbarium material has been seen.
