L.B. Smith & B.G. Schubert, Revista Univ. (Cuzco) 33(87): 81 (1944); R.C. Foster, Contr. Gray Herb. 184: 138 (1958); D.C. Wasshausen et al. in P.M. JØrgensen et al. (eds), Cat. Bolivia, Monogr. Syst. Bot. Missouri Bot. Gard. 129: 386 (2013).
Distribution and ecology. Endemic to Bolivia.
Etymology. The specific epithet subcaudata refers to the species’ subcaudate leaf base.
Nomenclatural notes. Smith and Schubert cited a sheet of H.H. Rusby 683 in the New York Botanical Garden herbarium in their protologue of Begonia subcaudata Rusby ex L.B.Sm. & B.G.Schub. (Smith & Schubert, 1944a). There are two sheets of this collection in New York, so following the recommendations of McNeill (2014) these would normally both be treated as syntypes. The second, unbarcoded specimen was, however, deposited in New York in 1948, 3 years after publication of the protologue. The first, barcoded specimen is therefore the holotype of Begonia subcaudata.
Identification notes. Begonia subcaudata is the only species of Bolivian Begonia sect. Hydristyles with leaves that are less than half as wide as they are long.
