Remarks
This species shares lacerated leaves with B. koelzii and B. shilendrae. Begonia sikkimensis tends to have smaller glabrous leaves with shallower lacerations; also the inflorescences arise from the leaf axils rather than from the rhizome as with B. shilendrae and B. koelzii. The leaves of specimens from the study area are somewhat coarser than those of the type.
