            <p> Impatiens omissa Hooker (1906: 43 , 48). (Figs. 2–3) </p>
            <p>  Lectotype:— INDIA. Tamilnadu: Pulney [Palani] Hills (West), s.d.,  Beddome s.n. (MH00003296!), designated by Singh (2016). </p>
            <p>Annual, semi-erect or diffuse herbs up to 20 cm long; stems more or less quadrangular, slender, branching at base, red, canaliculated, pubescent at nodes; extra-floral nectary absent. Leaves opposite or alternate; petiole to 10 mm long, channeled above, upper leaves are often sessile; blade ovate, 8–16 × 8–12 mm, base truncate, apex acute, margins serrate, adaxial surface pubescent, abaxial surface glabrous, midrib distinct, 3–5 ribbed basally, lateral veins not prominent. Inflorescence 2.5–5.0 cm long, pedunculate sub-umbels or racemes. Bracts linear, ca. 2 mm long, pale green. Flowers 3–6 in each peduncle, 8–15 mm across, white; pedicel to 3 cm long, pale green, glabrous; lateral sepals 2, ovate, slightly oblique, ca. 2 × 1 mm, glabrous, green with red tinge; dorsal petal suborbicular or elliptic, ca. 6 × 5 mm, glabrous, dorsally keeled, mucronate; lateral united petals 2-lobed, 14–17 × 7–10 mm, glabrous, white; basal lobe elliptic, ca. 5 × 3 mm, bright crimson stripes present; distal lobe ca. 14–17 × 7–10 mm, 2-blobed, rarely entire; dorsal auricle filiform, 3–4 mm long, yellow or bright orange; lower sepal ca. 6 × 4 mm, boat-shaped, glabrous, apex cuspidate; spur tubular, 4–6 mm long, glabrous; Stamens 5, cohering above pistil; column ca. 1.5 × 1.5 mm, slightly curved; filaments 5, white, connate at apex; anthersred. Pistil ca. 1 × 1 mm; ovary narrowly oblong, glabrous; style rudimentary; stigma 5-toothed. Capsule ellipsoid, ca. 7 × 4 mm, glabrous, green; seeds ovoid, 7–15 in number, ca. 1.5 × 1.0 mm, pubescent.</p>
            <p>Phenology: —September to December.</p>
            <p> Habitat and distribution: —Grows on wet and dripping open rocky slopes in montane grasslands at an elevation of 1800–2200 m in Anamalai hills, Palani hills, Megamalai hills and Travancore high ranges. This species grows in association with  Smithia sp. ,  Eriocaulon sp. and mosses. </p>
            <p> Taxonomic Notes: — Hooker (1906) described  I. omissa from the erroneously identified specimens of  I. parvifolia Bedd. collected from Pulney Hills (Beddome s.n., MH00003296!; K000683310, image!) and Anamallays (Beddome s.n. MH00003298!). In all these specimens, Hooker illustrated the plant habit, leaves, and dissected floral parts such as lateral sepals, dorsal petal, lateral united petals, lower sepal with spur, and seeds. The diagnostic characteristic features of  I. omissa such as boat-shaped lip with a long spur (4–6 mm long), a lateral united petal with a dorsal auricle as long as the spur, a shallowly lobed distal lobe of the lateral united petal, and a stripped basal lobe of the lateral united petal were found to match exactly with our fresh collections made from the Anamudi hills, and Devikulam in the Idukki district of Kerala. Therefore, based on the fresh and herbarium specimens the name  I. omissa is reinstated here as a distinct species. </p>

            <p> Impatiens parvifolia Beddome (1859: 66) . (Figures 4–5) </p>
            <p>  Lectotype:— INDIA. Tamilnadu: Anamallay [Anamalai] Hills, 8000 ft., s.d.,  Beddome s.n. (K000683311, image!), designated by Singh (2016). </p>
            <p>Annual, erect or straggling herbs up to 30 cm long; stem more or less quadrangular, pale green, canaliculated, pubescent at nodes; extra-floral nectary absent. Leaves opposite or alternate; petiole 5–20 mm long, channeled above; blade elliptic or lance-ovate, 12–26 × 6–10 mm, base cuneate, apex narrowly acute, margin serrate, adaxial surface pubescent, abaxial surface glabrous, midrib distinct, basally 1-ribbed, lateral veins prominent. Inflorescence 4–9 cm long pedunculate sub-umbels or racemes. Bracts linear, ca. 2 mm long, pale green. Flowers 3–7 in each peduncle, 10–15 mm across, white to pink; pedicel 1–3 cm long, pale green, glabrous; lateral sepals 2, ca. 2 × 1 mm, ovate, glabrous; dorsal petal 4–6 × 3–5mm, suborbicular, glabrous, dorsally keeled, mucronate; lateral united petals 2-lobed, 9–12 × 6–8 mm, glabrous, white or pink; basal lobe ca. 2 × 1 mm, oblong; distal lobe 9–12 × 6–8 mm, triangular, entire; dorsal auricle not prominent, or rarely short and acute; lower sepal 4–4.5 × ca. 3 mm, boat-shaped, glabrous, apex acute; spur obscure or short and blunt, glabrous; Stamens 5, cohering above pistil; column ca. 1.5 × 1 mm, slightly curved; filaments 5, white, anthers red. Pistil ca. 1 × 1 mm; ovary narrowly oblong, glabrous; style rudimentary; stigma 5-toothed. Capsule ellipsoid, 4–6 × ca. 3 mm, glabrous, green; seeds less than 7 in number, ca. 2 × 1.5 mm, broadly ovate, pubescent, brown.</p>
            <p>Phenology: —September to December.</p>
            <p> Habitat and distribution: —Grows on wet and dripping rocks in evergreen forests and grassland margins at an elevation of 1600–2175 m in Anamalai hills. It grows in association with  Pouzolzia sp. ,  Selaginella sp. ,  Utricularia sp. , mosses and grasses. This species is hitherto known only from Tamil Nadu, however in the present study it has also been collected from the Kerala part of the Anamalai hills, thus it is reported here as a new record to the state of Kerala. </p>
            <p> Taxonomic Notes: —As evidenced from the illustrations of its floral parts on the sheet, Beddome (1859) might have used Beddome s.n. (1861) for describing  I. parvifolia . He had also glued a separate dissection of the floral parts on the same sheet. We compared the freshly dissected floral parts with the above and it matched well. However, one of the most notable differences from the Beddome’s collection from our fresh collections was that of solitary flowers versus subumbellate or racemose inflorescences. Beddome corrected this while emending  I. parvifolia in his Icones Plantarum  Indiae Orientalis (Beddome 1874) , stating that the inflorescence is umbellately or sub-racemosely flowered, and the same character had been provided in his illustrations. Further, he also corrected the alternate leaf arrangements as given in protologue to opposite or alternate (Beddome 1874). Therefore, based on the detailed study of type specimens and fresh materials, a revised description for  I. parvifolia is presented here. </p>
