Abstract
Two new species, Begonia bracteolata and Begonia keralensis , are described from the Western Ghats of India. They are placed in the newly created Begonia sect. Flocciferae , along with B. albo-coccinea Hook. and B. floccifera Bedd. Lectotypes are designated for three names within this section. Colour photoplates, illustrations and an identification key to Begonia sect. Flocciferae are also provided.
