platanifolia Schott var. acuminatissima Kuntze. 1898. The name “leathermaniae” appears to be an incorrect name for this cane species based on the Begonian 79:99 and photo 79:101p - B. leathermaniae is stated as rhizomatous. To be clarified when L. Kollmann publishes his findings on this cane variety.* Begonia leathermaniae is bolivian and rhizomatous; B. pachypoda is cane-like, and brazilian (Espírito Santos state) - This last submitted by Fábio Carvalho
