About:
Name: Impatiens refers to a group of plants commonly known as Balsams or jewel-weeds.
Features: Consisting of both annual and perennial herbs, balsams are succulent plants with high endemism. Because of their bright beautiful flowers, these group of plants are of prized horticultural significance.
Distribution: About 230 species of Balsams are found in India, a majority of them in the eastern Himalayas and the Western Ghats.
Habitat: They are highly sensitive to climatic conditions like extreme drought and extended exposure to sunlight. As a result Impatiens species are typically confined to stream margins, moist roadsides, waterside boulders, near waterfalls and wet forests.
Recent discovery: Between 2010 and 2019, botanists and taxonomists discovered 23 new species of Balsams from the eastern Himalayas.
