This member of the Balsaminaceae family was given this name by
William Grant Craib in 1926. It is found
in Thailand and Malaysia, growing in a well drained mix of limestone
gravel and organic material with
quite some water and little sun. The caudex can grow to twelve
centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to 30 or even 50 centimetres in
height. The
flowers are yellow to orange, and might have red spots.
The genera name means
'impatience', referring to the fruits which pops when ripe and
touched. The species name means 'unimagined'. |
