Impatiens aadishankarii Bhaskar & Sringesh
Impatiens arunensis Grey-Wilson (Actually, experts have merged arunensis and pradhanii to bicornuta, and discolor to kathmanduensis but our expert Mr. Gogoi has already published book separating all these species as individual sp.. Accordingly, POWO has already separated discolor and kathmanduensis in their site. I hope they shall be separating these three sp. as well in due course of time)

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Impatiens
Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.
Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.
If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful.
Any comments/ corrections are welcome.
I have added the list of species known from India based on Flora of India vol-4.
Thanks, … That’s really great.
.
Many pages were already done by you, ….
Thanks, … It was really a great work with around 95 species in efi.
Great efforts by …
Impatiens is very large genus and well represented in India and its pictorial database eFI.
It is still to be decided that how the generic page will be made as mentioned in a separate thread by …
Can we adopt a table format with one picture only of a species?
I was also thinking on similar lines as … to add only one representative image per species.
.
Pl. go through Impatiens (Balsaminaceae) page with images of species (done mainly by Bhagyashri ji & helped by Anurag Sharma ji, TSP Kumar ji & me) in efloraofindia.
If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, it will be really nice.
Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let us know.
Great! It must be the longest genus page in eFI. More than 85 identified species on a page is enormous and extremely useful information. Thank you … for completing it.
Thanks, …, After a week of pros & cons in my mind, I decided to stick to the format though it may take some time for visibility of all thumbnails depending on the speed of the connection.
