Begonia adscendens is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae. It is native to wet shady subtropical forests in Nagaland and Manipur in India, and it may be found in similar habitats in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and northern Southeast Asia. A tuberous geophyte reaching 50 cm (20 in), it is typically found growing in sandy soil or on rocks.
