Red or purple dots are sometimes present. Only shrub-like species ( I. kerriae and I. parishii) have a dry brownish grey stem surface basally. Most taxa have an erect stem, but some are decumbent in the lower part, and sometimes rooting at nodes. Most species have a glabrous stem, but some are either entirely pilose or pilose only in the upper part. The stem is usually cylindrical below and commonly angular or rarely winged-ridged in the upper parts.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DC0024FFDCFFBEFCF6F8EEB980092E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(1910a: 299), an endemic to Northeast India, but differs in having yellow flowers and oblong bracts, whereas I. laevigata var. grandifolia has white-yellowish flowers, ovate to ovate-lanceolate bracts. This species is highly variable in leaf size and although Hooker (1910a) described I. laevigata var. grandifolia using the larger leaf size as a dis- tinguishing character from I. laevigata var. laevigata, we found that variation in leaf size is continuous without clear distinct size ranges.</p><p>Since there are several duplicates of Wall . Cat . no. 4753, we select the specimen Wall . Cat . no. 4753 (K000694815) as the lectotype of I. laevigata var. laevigata because it is a complete specimen with a dissected flower and also included illustration by Hooker.</p><p>Impatiens rubrolineata was distinguished from I. laevigata by Hooker (1910a), based on ovate-oblong leaves and obliquely ovate-oblong lateral sepals. The epithet ‘rubrolineata’ refers to red lines on the lower petals. However, all of those characters are also found in I. laevigata . We therefore decided to synonymize it. The holotype of I. rubrolineata, Meebold 6275, has disappeared, and only the drawing of the type was found in Kew Herbarium. It completely differs from I. rubrolineata H. Perrier (1934), described from a specimen collected in Madagascar and renamed as I. oniveensis Eb.Fisch. &amp; Raheliv. in Fischer &amp; Rahilevololona (2004).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DC0024FFD2FFB1FFAFFBD8BE4B06FA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is very similar to I. parishii but differs in having a longer pedicel than petiole, 2 lateral petals, and wavy red streaks on the lower lateral united petals, while I. parishii always has a yellow mark at the base of the lower lateral united petals.</p><p>The population in Taunggyi differs from the population in Chiang Mai in having longer petioles (65–90 mm vs &lt;10 mm), much larger laminas (16–26 by 7–95 mm vs 110 by 60 mm), and in the number of lateral veins (14–16 vs 6–12). These differences may be explained by the higher altitude of the Chiang Mai site, where a windy and nutrient-poor environment may lead to reduced growth. Hooker annotated the specimens Khalil s.n. (K K000694776) and Lace 4154 (K H2015/00092 27) as I. platysepala, non Impatiens platysepala Y.L. Chen (1988) 6, but this was never officially published. We found no differences between those specimens and I. kerriae .</p><p>This species is pollinated by bumblebees (Ruchisansakun et al. 2016). Due to the asymmetric lower lateral sepals, the body of the bumblebee tilts over to the right-hand side when it enters the flower resulting in the deposition of the pollen on the left side of the upper thorax.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DC0024FFD1FFB3FFAFFCDCBE470551	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The populations we observed in Mawlamyine have much smaller flowers than those from Hpa-An (18–26 mm vs 40–45 mm). This species is similar to I. spectabilis Triboun &amp; Suksathan (Suksathan &amp; Triboun 2009: 176) from Thailand but differs in having an obcordate apex on the upper lateral petals, instead of a truncate to obtuse apex. Turczaninow (1859) cited the specimen Lobb 184 in the protologue, but Lobb 184 (K000858226) is Henckelia marginata (C.B.Clarke) A.Weber from Peninsular Malaysia. However, we believe that Lobb 384 (KW001000647) – deposited in the National Herbarium of Ukraine (KW) – was the specimen Turczaninow was referring to, although Singapore is written on the label. However, a duplicate at Kew (K000694801) was collected in Moulmein (Moolmein), Myanmar, and Lobb 380­385 is also from Myanmar. As we cannot confirm with certainty that the specimen Lobb 384 (KW001000647) is a holotype, we designate it as lectotype, because it best matches the protologue.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DC0024FFCFFFAEFCF6F915BFC20388	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Some specimens in PE and KUN were identified as I. microcentra . However, they are very different from the description in the protologue (Handel-Mazzetti 1933: 653) and the holotype of I. microcentra, Handel­Mazzetti 9244 (WU0059594), in having a shorter stem, longer peduncle, deeply bucciniform lower sepal (instead of cylindrical lower sepal), c. 17 mm deep lower sepal including spur (instead of a 5 mm deep sepal), narrowly oblong lower lateral petals (instead of ovate to obovate lateral petals) (Table 3). This confusion is possibly due to the fact that Chen in 1973 annotated Yu 20313 (PE00039564, PE00039565) as a ‘topotype’; mentioning this on the specimen sheets; subsequently this led to the use of the wrong illustration in later publications (Akiyama et al. 1995: 158, Wu 2006: 80, 127, Chen et al. 2007: 50, 71).

In Flora of China (Chen et al. 2007), I. austroyunnanensis was not treated because the authors did not see any herbarium specimens.</p><p>Impatiens austroyunnanensis is most similar to I. holocentra but differs in having a deeply bucciniform spur that dilates in the middle.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DC0024FFC4FFA7FFAFFA57BA93066C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, I. aureliana cannot be distinguished morphologically from I. violiflora . It seems to have smaller flowers, but we observed that I. violiflora is characterized by extensive size variation with regard to both floral and vegetative parts, even within the same population. Furthermore, the long red hairs and glands at the base of the lamina and petioles were mentioned as distinct characters of I. aureliana, but we also found these in I. violiflora (Wu 2006) . Hence, we decided to synonymize I. aureliana under I. violiflora . Hooker (1875) did not designate a type I. violiflora . We found only Lobb s.n. (K000694901), which matches the protologue. Hence, we designate it as lectotype. For I. aureliana, we believe that specimen P00780659 is the holotype because it is the only specimen that matches the protologue and the drawing on this specimen is exactly similar to the illustration in the protologue (Hooker 1908).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DC0024FFF7FF96FCF6FCEDBB7905E6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is very similar to I. circaeoides, I. rangoonensis and I. tavoyana and no differences can be found in vegetative morphology, based on the Hooker (1905) description that includes details on leaf arrangement. Impatiens peguana differs from the three above-mentioned species in having a spurless lower sepal and broadly ovate to orbicular lateral sepals. The authors have not seen living plants or any additional specimens beyond the type specimen. Consequently, the current description is based on the type. Hooker did not include a detailed description in the protologue (Hooker 1905).</p><p>Since Hooker did not designate a type, we select M’Clelland s.n.

In the protologue, Toppin (1920) compared this species to I. pulchra and mentioned that I. delicata differs from I. pulchra by having 4 or 5 lateral veins. However, we found that it is easier to distinguish I. delicata by its pink instead of orange flowers and a straight or curved spur instead of a spiral one. We found two sheets of Toppin 4287. We select K000694679 as a lectotype because it is more complete and include dissected flowers.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DC0024FFE6FF84FFAFFD1ABFD002E4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
