XLVIII—INDIAN SPECIES OF IMPATIENS. 
On somE WESTERN gogo INDIAN galas 355, 
COLLECTED By Mr. A. MEEBO 
J. D. Hooxerr. 
In Kew Bulletin, 1910, p- 291 et seq., I described a considerable 
number of Indian Impatiens for the most part collected b 
Mr. Meebold* in 1908, of which seven were from the Western 
Peninsula, especially from the Western Ghat and Mysore. 
Encouraged by the publication of these new and interesting species, 
r. Meebold in a subsequent Western Peninsular journey gt 
val special attention to the Zmpatiens which he met with. On th 
occasion the countries visited were the Nilgiri Hills, Cochin ma 
Travancore, and the collection of Balsams was sent to me for study 
and transmission to the Herbarium of Breslau, with permission to 
retain any duplicates for that of Kew. On examination I found 
the collection to consist of 21 species under 44 numbers. Of those 
the following six may I think be regarded as hitherto undescribed ; 
of these three J. hehieala. I. rivulicola and TI. pallidifiora, all from 
Travancore, differ from the widely distributed if chinensis chiefly in 
the remarkably small flowers, capsules and see
