II,000-12,000 ft. Plant of 2-4 inches. Flowers deep orange, 
spur and base spotted purple. Aug. 1918.’’ G. Forrest. No. 
16,792. 
A very beautiful dwarf species with very conspicuous flowers 
much larger than the leaves. I cannot at present suggest the 
nearest affinity for the plant, which is very different from 
any Impatiens I have seen in the herbaria of Kew, Paris, and 
Edinburgh.
