Abstract

Based on examination of type specimens and publications, we confirmed that Begonia glutinosa Kiew from Vietnam is conspecific to B. wallichiana Lehm. Thus, we combined B. glutinosa as a new synonym of B. wallichiana Lehm.. As to B. wallichiana, the complicated history of taxonomic revision and botanic nomenclature is discussed here.
