Impatiens Walleriana Impatiens walleriana (Busy Lizzy, Impatiens) Most of the impatiens are evergreen with tropical and subtropical origin with thousands of cultivated varieties being available in the market nowadays. Most of the times used as an annual plant for seasonal plantation. The leaves and stems of impatiens are often fleshy and succulent. The flower can be single or double. Flowers come in a wide range of colors to include red, yellow, orange, pink, burgundy, salmon, white. Impatiens prefer partial sun to shade and fertile, evenly moist soil with adequate drainage. They are ideal for shaded borders, containers and hanging baskets.

Protologue: “Mozambique District, Moramballa, 2000 ft., on stones in streams”. Syntypes: J. Kirk s.n. (K!); H. Waller s.n. (K!). Lectotype (designated here): Mozambique, Moramballa, 0-3000 ft., Zambesi Expedition, H. Waller s.n. (K!-000419538). Notes: The name was published as ‘Walleriana’, which according to the ICBN (McNeill et al., 2006) is not a correctable error. The species is sometimes erroneously cited as ‘I. wallerana’. The other syntype, J. Kirk s.n. (K!), is also the holotype of Impatiens sultanii Hooker (1882: t. 6643), a synonym. The well-known bedding plant ‘busy lizzie’, Impatiens walleriana (Balsaminaceae), is a species occurring naturally in East Africa, where it can be found locally abundant in Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. It is frequently associated with wet or humid habitats and can thus be found near streams, waterfalls and in gorges or in the understorey of wet forests. Elsewhere in the tropics and subtropics the species can commonly be found naturalised along roads, in secondary forests and other disturbed habitats, where it can form dominant stands, competing out other species (Richardson et al. 2000, Tabak & Wettenberg 2008). Impatiens walleriana was first discovered during one of Dr David Livingstone’s expeditions up the Zambezi River, where he travelled with Dr John Kirk and Ref.

There is still limited evidence that the oospores especially in landscape plantings under moist conditions and cool nights. overwinter in landscape beds and infect impatiens the following year. Research is continuing to understand the role that the oospores may play in Regional outbreaks of this disease were seen for the first time in landscape year-to-year survival and spread. However, the pathogen can survive beds and container plantings in North America in summer 2011. In early during the winter months on living impatiens plants growing in warmer January 2012, outbreaks of impatiens downy mildew were observed in regions of the country (Florida). The aerial spores can then potentially landscape beds and greenhouses in south Florida. By the end of the 2012 move north during the following growing season infecting impatiens along season, impatiens downy mildew had been confirmed in 34 states.

    Gardens’Ten New Species Bulletin of Impatiens Singapore (Balsaminaceae) 61 (1): 159-184. from Thailand2009 159 Ten New Species of Impatiens (Balsaminaceae) from Thailand 1 2 P. SUKSATHAN AND P. TRIBOUN 1 Herbarium, Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden, Chiang Mai, Thailand 2 Bangkok Herbarium, Princess Sirindhorn Herbarium Building, Plant Variety Protection Division, Department of Agriculture, Bangkok, Thailand Abstract Ten new species of Impatiens (Balsaminaceae), I. adenioides Suksathan & Keerat., I. charisma Suksathan & Keerat., I. daraneenae Suksathan & Triboun, I. doitungensis Triboun & Sonsupab, I. jiewhoei Triboun & Suksathan, I. oreophila Triboun & Suksathan, I. ruthiae Suksathan & Triboun, I. sirindhorniae Triboun & Suksathan, I. spectabilis Triboun & Suksathan, and I. tigrina Suksathan & Triboun from Thailand are described and illustrated. Introduction The genus Impatiens consists of over 1,000 species of annual or perennial herbs widely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa and Asia. A few members of the genus extend into Europe, and Central and North America (Fischer, 2004). In contributions to the Flora of Southeast Asia II, Shimizu (1970) recognized 39 plus 3 doubtful species as native to Thailand. Subsequently many new species were discovered, and were added into the account (Shimizu, 1977, 1991, 2000; Shimizu and Suksathan, 2004) raising the total number of native Thai species to approximately 50. In connection with a revision of the family Balsaminaceae for the Flora of Thailand, intensive collecting in recent years in poorly explored mountain areas as well as material studied in herbaria worldwide have revealed several more undescribed species. Therefore, our assessment of the species diversity in the country may be underestimated, and more species probably await discovery.

    Leisure and Cultural Services Department Jockey Club One Person, One Flower Scheme(2019/20) Impatiens walleriana Impatiens walleriana Common Names:African Balsam, Busy Lizzie, Touch-me-not or Impatiens Family: Balsaminaceae Genus: Impatiens Native range: East Africa Form and Characteristics Distribution: Widely grown as ornamentals around the world Cultivars: Available in a diverse range of cultivars and also in varieties with multiple layers of petals Colours: Available in different colours such as red, orange, pink, purplish-red, purple, white, etc Flowering period: Mainly from autumn to late spring of the following year Characteristics: There is a sepal extending from the base of the flower to form a long and narrow white-coloured spur that contains nectar. When the capsule is ripe, even a slight touch will cause its skin to contract right into the shape of a caterpillar and eject the seeds from the capsule. This is why the flower is also named Impatiens. Form and Characteristics • A herbaceous perennial, though it is usually grown as an annual herb. • 30 to 60 cm in height with multi-branched stems • Its stems are upright, succulent, smooth, and green or reddish brown in colour • Leaves are alternate, spirally arranged, broadly elliptical or oval in shape, with an acute or acuminate apex, a cuneate base and serrate margins. • Flowers are usually in clusters of 2 or 3 at the axils of the upper stems, with 5 showy petals in different colours • The spindle-shaped and greenish capsule contains seeds Growth Habits • African Balsam favours a warm, medium-lit or partly shaded, and well ventilated environment.
