I've taken out the list of plants in the main article, because it is duplicated in the species list, and as it contains the imprecise 'New Guinea Impatiens'. And I'm not sure, but would the list of garden forms not all belong and be better placed under Busy Lizzie. Imc 14:55, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ceylon balsam?

The common name offered for Impatiens repens is Ceylon jewelweed. AFAIK his name is not used except in North America; it is called a balsam (as also for the related and similar forms from elsewhere in Asia). Also, they are mostly perennial. Imc 21:48, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
