IMPATIENS IN THE WALLICHIAN HERBARIUM. 29 
Sheet 2. Right hand specimen T. leptoceras, DC.; left 
hand J. Balsamina, L. 
Sheet 3. I. Balsamina, L. 
No. 4771. “ IMP. SERRATA, Benth. Napalia 1821.” 
No. 4772. “Imp. CIRCÆOIDES, Wall.” Two species. 
A. Rangoon 1826. 
B. Prome 1826. 
There are four specimens of two species on the sheet; the two 
upper with a simple stem, marked a in pencil, no doubt belong 
to an adjoining MS. ticket inscribed “I. simplex, Wall., Prome, 
Nov. 1826." The two lower are of a very different and much 
branched species, in an undeterminable condition, with a ticket 
inscribed * I. ciresoides, Wall., Legi ad fossas coet. prope 
Rangoon, Aug. 1826”; it has no resemblance to a Circea. 
From the above, it would appear that the A of the lithographed 
ticket is the Prome plaut, and B, the Rangoon, an unnamed one. 
There are specimens of the Prome plant in the Herb. Kew from 
Moulmain. 
No. 4773. “Imp. TAVOYANA, Benth. Tavoy, W. Gomez.” 
No. 7274. * IuPATIENS RACEMULOSA, Wall. Silhet, Gomez." 
No. 7275. “Impatrens PORRECTA, Wall. Silhet, Gomez." 
An additional Nepal species of Impatiens collected by Wallich 
in 1821 was found by me when examining some bundles of 
specimens which remained in the rooms of the Linnean Society 
after the completion of the great distribution in 1831? It isan 
undescribed species, for which I propose the name of I. preter- 
missa*. In the same bundle I found a form of T. bicolor, Royle 
(I. umbrosa, Edgew.), or of an undescribed species, with the MS. 
* [ praetermissa; herbacea, ramulis foliisque iminaturis puberulis, foliis 
1-14 poll. longis alternis ovatis ovato-lanceolatisve acuminatis serratis basi 
rotundatis v. in petiolum brevem angustatis, glandulis stipularibus pulvinatis,

Belongs to a section of the genus with Z. scabrida, DC., and others, 
ineluding the European and North American ones, in which the ebracteate 
peduncle is forked and the bracts usually placed on the pedicels above their 
middle, not at their base.
