Impatiens longicalcarata H. Perrier, Mém. Acad. Sci. Paris, Sér. 2, 67, 2: 6 (1948), non Impatiens longecalcarata Tardieu, Not. Syst. 11: 184 (1944).
TYPUS. — Humbert 18333, haute vallée du Sambirano, massif de Tsaratanana, vers 2000 m, Nov.- Dec. 1937 (holo-, P).
DISTRIBUTION. — Madagascar, only known from the type locality .
E TYMOLOGY. — Dedicated to Elisette RAHELIVOLOLONA.
As the epithet longecalcarata of an East Asian species can be confused with longicalcarata , a new name had to be chosen for the Madagascan taxon according to article 53.3 of the St. Louis Code. Impatiens elisettae is related to I. lokohensis H. Humbert , I. manongarivensis H. Perrier , I. mayae-valeriae Eb. Fisch. & Rahelivololona and I. loki-schmidtiae Eb. Fisch. & Rahelivololona.
An African taxon, Impatiens longicalcarata (G.M. Schulze & Wilczek) Grey-Wilson had been raised to specific level. Here, another nomen novum is required, and the species is named in honour of Christopher GREY- WILSON who provided the first modern revision of Impatiens in Africa.
