The genus Impatiens L. (Balsaminaceae) consists of about 210 species in India with 106 species (and 13 varieties) in the Western Ghats. Impatiens with over 95% of the species endemic in the Western Ghats, forms one of the primary centres of diversity in India. Recently, several new species from the Western Ghats, viz. Impatiens minae, I. johnsiana, I. theuerkaufiana, I. courtallensis, I. sahyadrica, I. neo-modesta, I. sasidharanii and a variety hirsuta, I. glabrata, I. kawttyana, I. taimushkulni, I. nilgirica var. nawttyana, I. stolonifera, and I. mankulamensis and I. panduranganii have been discovered.

Abstract


The genus Impatiens L. (Balsaminaceae) consists of about 210 species in India with 106 species (and 13 varieties) in the Western Ghats. Impatiens with over 95% of the species endemic in the Western Ghats, forms one of the primary centres of diversity in India. Recently, several new species from the Western Ghats, viz. Impatiens minae, I. johnsiana, I. theuerkaufiana, I. courtallensis, I. sahyadrica, I. neo-modesta, I. sasidharanii and a variety hirsuta, I. glabrata, I. kawttyana, I. taimushkulni, I. nilgirica var. nawttyana, I. stolonifera, and I. mankulamensis and I. panduranganii have been discovered.
