Begonia bhutanensis P.Gyeltshen & M.Hughes, sp. nov. (§ Diploclinium) Resembles Begonia rubella in habit, but differs in having fimbriate-laciniate bracts (not entire), rounded wings on the capsule (not elongate triangular), and a symmetric androecium with sub-uniformly sized anthers (not asymmetric with markedly heteromorphic anthers (Rajbhandary et al., 2011).

Plant monoecious, tuberous, herbaceous, 35–50 cm tall.
