This member of the
Balsaminaceae family was given this name by Joseph Dalton
Hooker in 1874. It is found
in Myanmar and Thailand, growing in a well drained limestone soil with
some to plenty water and some sun. The caudex can grow to
fifteen
centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to 100 centimetres in
height. The
flowers are from white to pink with a yellow lower inner.
The genera name means
'impatience', referring to the fruits which pops when ripe and
touched. The species is named after Charles Samuel Pollock Parish,
1822-1897, who collected plants in Burma (present day Myanmar) between 1852
and 1878. |
