BACKGROUND: Species of Begonia are richly represented in limestone karst areas across the Sino-Vietnamese border. More than one hundred species were known, many of which were documented recently.RESULTS: In continuation of our systematic studies of Asian Begonia, we report...

Ficus (Moraceae) and fig wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) in Taiwan.

Botanical studies

Bain A, Tzeng HY, Wu WJ, Chou LS.
