Begonias and African rain forest refuges: general aspects and recent progress

1996

Sosef, M. S. M.

This article is about tropical Africa during the last glacial when the climate was cooler and drier and the rain forest retreated. It remained present in several small forest refuge areas only. The species of two sections of Begonia are ideal to serve as bioindicators of the localities of former forest refuges. Their distribution patterns have been analyzed elsewhere but are discussed here in the light of new evidence and data. This is followed by a discussion on the validity of deducting localities of forest refuges by names of present day distributional data.
