Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation The new populations are named Impatiens xishuiensis as a new species.
- Observation Impatiens piufanensis and I. forrestii are synonyms of I. oxyanthera.
- Observation Impatiens tienchuanensis and I. fanjingshanica are synonyms of I. commelinoides.
- Observation Impatiens sunii is probably an infraspecific entity.
- Observation The two new populations have chloroplast genomes of 151,939 and 151,789 bp.
- Observation The ycf1 gene is a potential molecular marker in Impatiens.
- Observation Phylogenetic analysis resolved three strongly supported clades in Balsaminaceae.
- Observation The two newly discovered populations showed 99.7% chloroplast genome identity.
- Association Impatiens xishuiensis is molecularly closer to I. commelinoides than morphologically similar to I. oxyanthera.
- Observation Floral color is likely of relatively limited value for inferring interspecific phylogenetic affinities in Impatiens.
