Begonia fragae L. Kollmann & Peixoto and Begonia wasshauseniana L. Kollmann & Peixoto (Begoniaceae), two new species from the Atlantic Forest of the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil, are described and illustrated. Comments on their ecology and distribution are also provided. If Begonia fragae is most similar to Begonia santoslimae Brade, Begonia kautskyana Handro and Begonia leopoldinensis L. Kollmann, Begonia wasshauseniana is similar to Begonia ruschii L. Kollmann. Their morphological affinities are discussed.
