Begonia longifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae.[2] It is native to the eastern Himalayas, southern China, Hainan, Taiwan, mainland Southeast Asia, and some of the islands of Indonesia.[1] An erect perennial herb reaching 1.5 m (5 ft), it is typically found in shady, moist forests at elevations from 200 to 2,200 m (700 to 7,200 ft).[2] It is the most widespread species of Begonia in Asia, and probably in the world.[2][3]
