HI I have a query: An email chain that is doing the rounds is of an impatiens flower resembling a parrot. Browsing gave me info that it is Impatiens psittacina described by HOoker. Is this plant present In India?


Pl. see efi site link:

I have seen all these links too. BUt I wanted to know if the plant is present somewhere in INdia

Claims that it grows in India and Vietnam have proven to be false” end quote ….
