Begonia beijnenii is a miniature begonia from Palawan in the Philippines, valued for its variegated leaves. It is a wet tropical plant that needs humid, shaded, consistently moist conditions.
Begonia beijnenii is a species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae, native to the island of Palawan in the Philippines.
It was discovered in 2011, by a group of conservationists led by Dutch environmentalist Jonah van Beijnen trekking in Port Barton in Palawan. It is distinct from other Begonia species for being miniature in size and bearing variegated leaves. It is determined to be endemic at least to the town of San Vicente.
