Description


Impatiens walleriana (syn. Impatiens sultanii), also known as busy Lizzie (British Isles), balsam, sultana, or simply impatiens, is a species of the genus Impatiens, native to eastern Africa from Kenya to Mozambique. It is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant growing to 15–60 cm (6–24 in) tall, with broad lanceolate leaves 3–12 cm long and 2–5 cm broad. Leaves are mostly alternate, although they may be opposite near the top of the plant. The flowers are profusely borne, 2–5 cm diameter, with five petals and a 1 cm spur. The seedpod explodes when ripe in the same manner as other Impatiens species, an evolutionary adaptation for seed dispersal. The stems are semi-succulent, and all parts of the plant (leaves, stems, flowers, roots) are soft and easily damaged.The Latin specific epithet walleriana honours a British missionary, Horace Waller (1833-1896) (wikipedia) Thank you for your visit and comment, good day to you Impatiens parviflora, la Balsamine à petites fleurs ou Impatiente à petites fleurs est une plante herbacée annuelle de la famille des Balsaminacées. C'est une plante des terrains humides, des terrains vagues et des bois ombragés plus ou moins anthropisés, les haies, les parcs ou le long des berges de cours d’eau. Originaire d'Asie centrale 1, elle est largement naturalisée en Europe occidentale ainsi qu'en Amérique du Nord. Elle est considérée comme une espèce invasive en Belgique d'impact environnementale modéré 2. Il existe une très grande variation morphologique de la balsamine à petites fleurs.
