Abstract

Impatiens bhaskarii, a new species is described and illustrated from the Western Ghats, India. It is endemic and confined to the Western Ghats of Karnataka (India). This species is closely allied to I. stocksii Hook. f. & Thomson and I. dendricola C. E. C. Fisch., but differs in possessing lilac to pink-coloured flowers, a short dorsal auricle, and seeds with hairs all over from the former, and in having lilac to pink-coloured flowers, saccate spur and seeds with hairs all over from the latter.

中文摘要

本文描述並繪圖介紹特產於印度西高止山脈的鳳仙花一新種：巴斯卡鳳仙 (Impatiens bhaskarii)。本種除了是印度特有種外，更侷限分布於西高止山脈。文中提及本種與幹生鳳 仙 (I. stocksii Hook. f. & Thomson) 及樹生鳳仙 (I. dendricola C.E.C. Fisch.) 雖為相近種，然淡 紫色到粉紅色的花、囊形的距及全被毛的種子等特徵，是很容易與後二者區別。
