Impatiens radiata Hook. f.:
While trying to open the link in the efi sites, the following appears.


Many links on genus and family pages will not be working as google site has been shut down.

Individual click is OK. Problem is whenever trying open from the genus page.


Yes, I know, as the links are of the old Google site, on genus pages.
In the species’ pages, links are of google groups.
