Summary
A new account of the Begonia flora in Gunung Mulu and Gunung Buda National Parks, Sarawak, Borneo, identifies five previously undescribed species (Begonia argentii, B. jokwaniana, B. lansatensis, B. muluensis, and B. vulgarioides) and one new record for the region (Begonia chlorocarpa). The study provides illustrated descriptions and a key for identification, expanding the known diversity of Begonias in these UNESCO-listed tropical rainforests. This research contributes to the documentation of Borneo's rich flora while offering tools for future taxonomic studies.
