Impatiens Abbatis so closely resembles Impatiens arguta Hk. f. and T., 
9f the Eastern Himalaya and Burma that I have doubts of its proving 
distinct. It differs from that plant in the branching habit, small leaves, 
and in the dolabriform distal lobes of the wings; those of all forms of 
Impatiens arguta seen by me being obcordate, as may be seen by refer- 
ring to the variety Bulleyana figured on tab. 2875 of this volume.
