ImPATIENS WlGHTIANA. (Bedd.) SufFruticose erect branched, leaves alternate glabrous, lineolate, narrow-lanceolate 
acuminate, incurved-bristly-serrate, a few hairs on the nerves above, glabrous below 5-6 inches long by 1^-lf broad, petioles 11-24 
inches long furnished with numerous pedicelled glands towards the apex, peduncles axillary solitary a little longer than the petioles, 
racemed nearly their whole length, flowers 12-14 lines long white with vexillum and aloe mottled with pink, vexillum with a 
green ridge at its back, lateral sepals small, labellum ventricose with a short incurved spur, aloe with the upper lobe very small, lower 
lobe much elongated and narrow, bracteoles small ovate, pedicels in fruit horizontal, fruit with about 5 seeds, seeds hairy. 
Anamallays, moist forests 3000-4500 feet elevation. 
PLATE CXLVI. 
IMPATIENS TaNGACHEE. (Bedd.) Herbaceous sub-procumbent, glabrous, leaves alternate subverticelled acuminate 
bristly-serrate 2|--4 inches long, by inch broad, petioles scarcely any beyond the dilated base of the leaf, peduncles axillary much 
longer than the leaves 4-8 flowered towards the apex, bractes large boat-shaped persistent, pedicels erect in flower, slightly reflexed in 
fruit, flowers 12-14 lines in length, bright rose, vexillum large vaulted, ovate, lateral sepals ovate pointed, labellum with a lon<* 
tapering recurved spur, aloe large and spreading, the upper lobe about J the size of the lower, capsule glabrous gibbous, seeds numerous 
very small. 
Anamallays, 4000 feet and upwards, most abundant on the higher ranges in beds of rivers; a very beautiful species. 
PLATE CXLVII. 
ImPATIENS PHCENICEA. (Bedd.) SufFruticose erect glabrous, leaves deep green and shining, lanceolate attenuated 
at both ends, incurved bristly-serrate, 3-4 inches long by 1-1J broad, petioles 4-8 lines long, peduncles axillary as long or longer than 
the leaves, racemose or occasionally dichotomously branched towards the apex and furnished with cordate boat-shaped permanent bractes 
at the base of the pedicels, flowers brilliant scarlet with a little yellow in the centre about 1 inch long, 4-14 to each peduncle, pedi¬ 
cels slender f inch long, vexillum vaulted winged at its back, aloe spreading, the lower lobe about twice as large as the upper, lateral 
sepals small, labellum gradually attenuated into a long recurved spur which is swollen and gland like at its point. 
Pulney Hills, sholas ou the higher ranges, 6-7000 feet, (abundant in the Kcdinkarnal Shola). This very beautiful species is 
very similar to the Imp. Walk eras of Ceylon ; it is only found on the Pulneys; it is easy of cultivation from cuttings, and well worth 
a place in gardens. 
PLATE CXLVIII. 
IMPATIENS LIGULATA. (Bedd.) Herbaceous, much branched, glabrous, leaves opposite linear-lanceolate mucro- 
nate at the apex, sessile, more or less cordate and stem-clasping at the base, remotely bristle-toothed, above furnished with very 
minute harsh pubescence below glabrous and glaucous, 3-4 inches long by 6-8 lines broad, petioles none or 1 line long, peduncles 1-3 
axillary 1 flowered about \ the length of the leaves minutely pubescent, flowers about 1 inch long pink or rarely white, 
lateral sepals small linear lanceolate acute, vexillum small vaulted slightly pubescent along the centre of the back, alee with 
a long filiform inner lobe which is completely hid in the spur, lower lobe large and spreading, labellum with a lougish recurved gibbous 
spur, capsule swollen in the centre glabrous with about 12 black shining seeds. 
This pretty species is rare; I have only observed it in the Anamallay Teak forests (about Toonacadavu) elevation 1500-2500 
feet, and in one locality in Malabar at a somewhat lower level; it is allied to some forms of I. Ckinensis; it is easily propagated from seed. 
PLATE CXLIX. 
IMPATIENS ANAMALLAYENSIS. (Bedd.) Herbaceous, erect, often with small branches from the axils of the lower 
leaves, leaves opposite (those of the branchlets alternate) ovate, incurved-bristly-serrate above with a few distant hairs, below Gla¬ 
brous and pale, l|-2 inches long by 8-14 lines broad, petioles up to one inch long, peduncles filiform axillary from nearly as long to 
much longer than the leaves, racenrosely 3-8 flowered towards the apex, pedicels very slender 3-5 lines long furnished with filiform 
bracteoles at their base, flowers pinkish 3-4 lines in length, aloe elongate, upper lobe with a ligulate appendage which is hid in the 
labellum, lower lobe 2 lobed, labellum with a short nearly straight gibbous spur capsule ovate pointed glabrous, seeds 6-8 very hairy. 
Anamallays and Pulneys, 3-7000 feet. 
PLATE CL. 
IMPATIENS DeNISONII. (Bedd.) Scapigerous, leaves radical ovate cordate acute or obtuse at the apex, bristly-crenate 
furnished above with numerous weak hairs, glabrous below, 4-6 inches long by 3-4 inches broad, petioles generally a little shorter 
than the leaves, scapes twice to four times as long as the leaves, flowers numerous racemed towards the apex, pink, about 1 inch 
long, pedicels 12-16 lines long furnished with a small ovate bracteole at their base, lateral sepals small ovate, vexillum rather large 
broadly ovate vaulted, aloe with a dense tuft of petaloid hairs across the upper portion of the inner face, lower lobe deeply bifid (as in 
rivalis), upper lobe furnished with a long filiform appendage which is entirely hid in the whole length of the spur, labellum with a loDg 
recurved spur, capsule glabrous, seeds very small numerous.
