Discussion
Begonia hirtella is naturalized only in Miami-Dade County; it is also a weed in greenhouses. A specimen similar to B. hirtella, collected in Palm Beach County on a floating, rotting log in a cypress strand (Bradley and Woodmansee 1239, FTG), is glabrous and cannot be determined in its vegetative condition at the present time; it is unknown whether it has persisted.
