﻿AbstractIn the revision on the genusImpatiensL. in China, we found that there were synonyms amongst some species.ImpatiensprocumbensFranch. morphologically resembledI.reptansHook.f.,I.crassilobaHook.f.,I.ganpiuanaHook.f.,I.atherosepalaHook.f. andI.rhombifoliaY.Q.Lu & Y.L.Chen. After a thorough morphological study, based on original literature, type specimens and field surveys, it was found that the above six species ofImpatienshad no substantial differences in morphological characters and there was continuity in geographical distribution. Therefore, we determined thatI.reptans,I.crassiloba,I.ganpiuana,I.atherosepalaandI.rhombifoliaare the synonyms ofI.procumbens. At the same time, we present the color photographs, supplementary descriptions of morphology, and geographical distribution. The lectotype ofI.procumbensandI.reptansare also designated here.
