Abstract

Critical examination and literature survey on Impatiens species of Eastern Himalaya revealed that Impatiens citrina Hook. f. and I. tropaeolifolia Griff. ex Hook. f. need to be lectotypified. So lectotypes are designated, detailed descriptions from live material and coloured illustrations for easy identification are provided.

Keywords
