nate, glabrous. Seeds oblong, rugose, compressed, brown. I have made this to in- 

 clude the common Himalayan Impatiens of the group with much larger flowers than 

 racemosa, crenate leaves, rounded tips to the buds, a long slender spur, and persistent 

 narrow bracts ; whether all the following varieties are referable to it cannot be deter- 

 mined from dried specimens. Edge-worth's specimens in Herb. ttentham are not in an 

 examinable state. It differs from /. (t'j>toi-> ru* (to which I had referred various of the 

 forms) in the broader shorter leaves, persistent bracts, and hal.it of growth; from 

 /. an-fiustijlora, in the rounded buds and lip not ending in a beak ; and 1'rom / 

 antha by the same characters and persistent bracts.
