tracing Begonia names

[Marc S.M. Sosef]

Dear colleagues,

We are presently compiling a list of all Begonia species and
the section to which they belong. Some names can not be
attributed to a certain species because of a lack of
information (i.e. no references after its publication with
obscure description). I recently found out that one of these
figured as a synonym of a Gesneriaceae! I now wonder whether
any of you happen be aware of more cases where a Begonia
name moved to another family. Maybe this will solve part of
our remaining question marks.

Thanks in advance for any reaction,
