BALSAMINACEJE. 

 IMPATIENS L. 



I. aurea Muhl. Pale Touch-me-not. 



(I pallida Nutt.) 



Characteristic of rich, moist soils in shaded localities. 



The flowering season is short so far as the individual plant is 

 concerned, but the form may be found in bloom in various locali- 

 ties through June, July, and August. 



Tippecanoe (Cunningham); Kosciusko (Coulter); Gibson and 

 Posey (Sehneck); Clark (Baird and Taylor); Xoble (Van Gorder);

I. biflora Walt. Spotted Touch-me-not. 



(Z./wZvaNutt.) 



Found in similar localities, but less frequent than the former. 

 Both forms of the genus are probably found in every part of the 

 State in greater or less abundance. 



In addition to the localities cited for I. aurea, there are to be 

 added: Knox (Spillman); Vermillion (Wright); Steuben 

 (Bradner). 



In addition to the distinction afforded by the flowers, the form 

 may usually be separated from aurea by its smaller size and lighter 

 green leaves.
