This description^ together mtb a drawing, was placed in tlie 

 Herbarium by Sir Joseph Hooker in 1911 with a view to having it 

 published in the Icones Plantarum. It is accompanied by the 

 following note: '' The remarkable species here figured was sent to 

 me for the Kew Herbarium by my excellent correspondent, J. H. 

 Lace, Esq., Chief of the Burmese Forest Dept. ... I know of no 

 species resembling it, and in the absence of fruit and seed it is 

 impossible to determine its position in the Epitome of Burmese 

 Balsams published in the Eecords of the Botanical Survey of 

 India." The drawing will be incorporated in one of the next 

 parts of the Icones Plantarum; but as it is desirable to have such 

 a distinct species put on record, it is thought better not to delay 

 the publication of the description any longer. The only material 



ma 



certain terms for parts of the flower. This was deemed advisable 

 in order to bring the description into line with the current con- 

 ception of the Impatiens flower. At the same time, his terms 

 have been retained in brackets, which will enable the student to 

 correlate his terminology with that now accepted.
