Notes:—While describing Impatiens viscida, Wight (1837) mentioned only precise locality ‘Pulney mountains’ in the protologue. Pertaining to the specification given in the protologue, five specimens of this species collected by Wight were traced (K000694965 ‒ 000694967, M0211739 and P04538768). Of these, the better preserved specimen K000694966, is designated here as the lectotype as it agrees well with the protologue and also in having dissected flower parts pasted on the sheet by younger Hooker.
