46E762A96C975D8D8D6942A4D8EF6DCD.taxon	description	Seed description and palynology. Seeds of I. yunlingensis are elliptic-oblong, with a size of 2.6 x 1.9 mm, L (long) / W (wide) = 1.37 (Fig. 4 A-C). The surface is equipped with coarse tubercular ornamentation mostly covered by grain-shaped appendages. While the seeds of I. delavayi are also elliptic-oblong, with a size of 3.5 x 2.3 mm, L (long) / W (wide) = 1.52 (Fig. 4 D-F), the surface contains coarse tubercular ornamentation glabrous and no grain shaped appendages on the top. Pollen grains of both I. yunlingensis and I. delavayi are tetracolpate, elliptic in polar view, exine with irregular reticulate ornamentation, and granules in lumina. Impatiens yunlingensis pollen size (E 1 x E 2: length of long equatorial axis x length of short equatorial axis) is 28.05 x 16.67 μm (Fig. 4 G-I), while it is 27.78 x 17.50 μm (E 1 x E 2) for I. delavayi (Fig. 4 J-L) (Suppl. material 1: Table S 2).	en	Yu, Jiang-Hong, Zhang, Wen-Di, Qin, Fei, Xia, Chang-Ying, Qin, Ying, An, Ming-Tai, Gadagkar, Sudhindra R., Yu, Sheng-Xiang (2022): Impatiens yunlingensis (Balsaminaceae), a new species from Yunnan, China.
