Begonia xanthina is a species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae, native to the eastern Himalayas, Assam, and southwestern Yunnan in China. A rhizomatous geophyte reaching 40 cm (16 in), it is typically found growing near streams on rocky forested hills up to 800 m (2,600 ft) in elevation. It resembles Begonia rex, but with yellow flowers and scattered light green splotches on the leaves.
