6706879AFF8D25594E82FF4E4371FBF7.taxon	distribution	Distribution, habitat and phenology. Begonia micheliniana is known from coastal low-elevation slopes (40 to 250 m elevation) covered by hygrophilous Atlantic Forest of Bahia state. Begonia micheliniana climbs on the trunk of the trees to a height of seven meters. Flowers were observed from December to June, fruits from February to September. Conservation status: — Due to the apparent endemic distribution of B. micheliniana, with extent of occurrence estimated to be less than 10 km 2 and considering the high levels of deforestation and land use changes across its range it would seem prudent to classify the species as Critically Endangered (CR) (B 2 ab (iii )) due to the low number of known locations and decline in quality of habitat (IUCN 2017).	en	Kollmann, Ludovic Jean Charles (2019): NOVELTIES IN BRAZILIAN BEGONIACEAE I: two new species from Bahia. Phytotaxa 404 (2): 65-73, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.404.2.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.404.2.1
6706879AFF8D25594E82FF4E4371FBF7.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The name of the new species pays homage to Michelin family, proprietors of the “ Plantações Michelin Bahia ” in Bahia state, Brazil, who continue to help protect a forest fragment in the important forests of southern Bahia state. Notes: — The type locality is composed by dense rain forest remaining between areas of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations. The “ Plantações Michelin Bahia ” contains about 3,000 hectares of protected native forest, 1,000 hectares of rubber tree culture and an important social project. Begonia micheliniana is closely related to B. polygonifolia and B. fagifolia in its climbing scandent habit, persistent stipules and white flower, but can be distinguished from B. polygonifolia by lanceolate to rarely elliptical leaf blade (vs. elliptical to oblanceolate), its 4.5 – 12.5 cm long petiole (vs. 0.25 – 2.5 cm long), and it can be distinguished from B. fagifolia by lanceolate to elliptical leaf blade (vs. ovate to lanceolate), and its adaxially glabrous (vs. hirsute) and deciduous bracts (vs. persistent). According to the sectional classification of Doorenbos et al. (1998), and Moonlight et al. (2018) Begonia micheliniana is nested within section Wageneria (Klotzsch) A. DC. This group of species share a climbing habit and stems that produce adventitious roots at the nodes, symmetrical or subsymmetrical leaf blades that are pinnately or palmately veined, stamens with filaments slightly united below and anthers that are usually much shorter than the filaments, and cylindrical seeds crowned with a group of larger cells at the truncate apex.	en	Kollmann, Ludovic Jean Charles (2019): NOVELTIES IN BRAZILIAN BEGONIACEAE I: two new species from Bahia.

6706879AFF88255A4E82FB7843F0FC78.taxon	distribution	Distribution, habitat and phenology: — Begonia charlesjarosiana occurs between 500 – 700 m elevation, in sandy soil or humus on rocks in forest. The predominant vegetation is dense Ombrophilous Forest (Atlantic Forest). It flowers between July and October and bares fruits between May to November. Conservation status: — Considering the Area of Occupancy of about 12 km 2, and the Extent of Occurrence of 199 km 2 and due to the low number of known locations and decline in quality of habitat, we classify the species as Endangered according to IUCN’s category B 1 a and B 2 ab (iii) (IUCN 2017). Although species populations are within a Conservation Unit (the Ecological State Station of Wenceslau Guimarães) the area is subject to high levels of deforestation and land use changes, thus Begonia charlesjarosiana can be considered Endangered.	en	Kollmann, Ludovic Jean Charles (2019): NOVELTIES IN BRAZILIAN BEGONIACEAE I: two new species from Bahia.

6706879AFF88255A4E82FB7843F0FC78.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The name of the new species is a posthumous homage to Charles Jaros, who has greatly contributed to knowledge of the begonias and had an important contribution at the American Begonian Society. Notes: — Culture of cacao, fruits, coffee, manioc and cattle breeding are the best common agricultural activities in Wenceslau Guimarães and Jaguaquara. Begonia convolvulacea A. DC., B. fruticosa A. DC., B. glabra Aubl., B. grisea A. DC., B. itaguassuensis Brade, B. reniformis Dryand, B. russeliana L. B. Sm. ex S. F. Sm. & Wassh., B. smilacina A. DC. and B. subacida Irmsch. are also present at this site and approximately 30 new species of different plants family are described from this two adjacent Municipalities, demonstrating the high level of diversity of the region. In Flora of Bahia (Gregorio 2016) Begonia charlesjarosiana was named erroneously as Begonia angularis. Begonia charlesjarosiana is closely related to Begonia angularis Raddi but can be distinguished by its deciduous stipules (vs. persistent), its dichasial cymes at the base and later monochasial cymes (vs. always dichasial), its persistent (vs. deciduous) and ovate (vs. elliptical) bracts with a rounded apex (vs. acute to mucronate), its pistillate flower with 2 prophyles (vs. without prophyles), and its style flabellate (vs. twisted), 2 – 3 unequal branches (vs. 2 equal branches). According to the sectional classification of Doorenbos et al. (1998) and Moonlight et al. (2018), Begonia charlesjarosiana belongs to the section Pritzelia, with approximately 130 species from South America. Species in this section share entire placentae and the presence of cystoliths in the leaf cells (Doorenbos et al. 1998).	en	Kollmann, Ludovic Jean Charles (2019): NOVELTIES IN BRAZILIAN BEGONIACEAE I: two new species from Bahia.
