Proposed IUCN category: DD. Insufficient specimens could be georeferenced with certainty. (Hughes, M. An annotated checklist of Southeast Asian Begonia. 2008)
Notes
There is some confusion about the type locality; the protologue states it is in 'districto Kapetaran, prov. Menado ins. Celebes', whereas the specimen label is annotated 'Ternate'. (Hughes, M. An annotated checklist of Southeast Asian Begonia. 2008)
