 Why in news 

  • Researchers stumbled upon a new species during a floristic survey in the Agasthyamala biosphere reserve in Thiruvananthapuram district

  • They initially took it for Impatiens uncinata, a familiar species of the genus Impatiens, to which the garden balsams also belong

  • But a closer look had prompted a detailed scientific study, which eventually resulted in the plant being labelled a new species of Impatiens (family Balsaminaceae), and named it as Impatiens neo-uncinata.  

  • A small plant with attractive milky-white flowers with red stripes, a rare, wild cousin of the popular garden balsam.

Agasthyamala biosphere
