744. IMPATIENS CAMPANUIATA (R. W.) herba- 
ceous erect, sparingly branched, glabrous: stem and 
branches terete: leaves alternate, long petioled, 
broadly ovate lanceolate acute, encurved bristle serrat- 
ed; beneath glaucous with the veins very prominent : 
peduncles axillary erect, shorter than the leaves, three- 
flowered ; pedicels about the length of the flower: up- 
per sepal keeled above ; lower ventricose with a short 
encurved spur ; lateral ones large naviculate about the 
length of the others : upper lobes of the petals mucro- 
nate short; lower ones large exceeding the upper sepal : 
capsule ovate attenuated at both ends glabrous : seeds 
echinate, R. W. Madras Journal of Science. 
A very handsome species found in moist woods on 
the Pulney mountains at am elevation of about 5500 
feet. Flowers cream coloured speckled with purple. 
The large size and incurving of the upper sepal over the 
edges of the petals gives the flower a campanulate shape 
(whence the name) not easily represented on paper.

fuse rooting at the lower joints afterwards erect, stem 
angled, with a few bristly hairs scattered over it : leaves 
alternate, longish petioled, ovate pointed serrated ; veins 
on both sides covered with stiff erect hairs: peduncles 
axillary erect, filiform, viscid, 2-4 flowered, usually short- 
er than the leaf: flowers large, all the sepals about 
equal, the lower furnished with a long tapering spur, 
nearly twice the length of the flower, lateral ones ovate 
cordate : upper lobes of the petals larger than the se- 
pals, but much smaller than the lower ones: capsule 
glabrous, tapering at both ends, ventricose : seeds pen- 
dulous hairy.— R. W. Madras Journal of Science.

748. IMPATIENS FASCICULATA (Lam. :) stems erect, 
glabrous : leaves opposite, almost sessile, from narrow- 
linear to lanceolate, usually rounded or cordate at the 
base, serrated; upper side somewhat hispid ; under 
glabrous, whitish, and marked with coloured nerves: 
pedicels usually in pairs, slender, elongated, sometimes 
nearly as long as the leaves: sepals all with a vallou 
point ; lateral ones linear, falcate ; posterior roundishe 
ovate, larger than the posterior but only half the size of 
the large anterior semi-obovate lobes ofthe petals; 
lower widely-infundibuliform, with a tapering slender 
spur about as long as the pedicel : stigmas combined : 
capsule obiong, a little ventricose, tapering at both 
ends.— W. and A. Prod. p. 138. 
This plant occupies a wide range of elevation ex- 
tending from about tlıe sea level in Malabar to 8000 feet 
of elevation on the Neilgherries, where it abounds 
in marshy grounds decorating them with its large showy 
pink flowers.

749. IMPATIENS TOMENTOSA (Heyne:) stems dif- 
fuse, glabrous: leaves opposite, sessile, linear-lanceo-

pid; under pale, glabrous : pedicels axillary, solitary or 
in pairs, pubescent, about as long as the leaves, in fruit 
deflexed : anterior sepal cucullate, with the spur short 
and inflated at the point : stigmas united : capsule ob- 
long, tapering at both ends.—W. and A. Prod. p. 139. 
In marshy pastures, Neilgherries, Pulney mountains, 
and Mysore, flowering August and September. The 
specimen figured is rather a large oue, I have frequently 
met with it not 3 inches high.

the lower : upper lobes of the petals much smaller than 
the lower: spur short conical : fructiferous peduncles 
erect capsule ovate. | 
Courtallum in moist woods flowering August and Sep

Ceylon specimens, sent to England by Colonel Walker, 
in terms that leaves no doubt of his plant being identical 
with the one here figured.
