Lectotypes of Begonia bahiensis, B. coccinea, B. echinosepala, B. herbacea var. ellipticifolia, B. juliana, B. leptotricha, B. metallica and B. saxifraga are designated. Begonia attenuata var. herbacea, B. bonitoensis var. intermedia, B. cantareira, B. costello and B. fruticosa var. robusta are confirmed as invalid names.
