Impatiens is a genus of more than 1,000 species of flowering plants, widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere and the tropics. Together with the genus Hydrocera, Impatiens make up the family Balsaminaceae.
Impatiens walleriana, also known as busy Lizzie, balsam, sultana, or simply impatiens, is a species of the genus Impatiens, native to eastern Africa from Kenya to Mozambique. The Latin specific epithet walleriana honours a British missionary, Horace Waller (1833–1896).

The Balsaminaceae are a family of dicotyledonous plants, comprising two genera: Impatiens, which consists of 1000+ species, and Hydrocera, consisting of 1 species. The flowering plants may be annual or perennial. They are found throughout temperate and tropical regions, primarily in Asia and Africa, but also North America and Europe.
Impatiens capensis, the orange jewelweed, common jewelweed, spotted jewelweed, or orange balsam, is an annual plant which is native to eastern North America. It is common in bottomland soils, ditches, and along creeks, often growing side-by-side with its less common relative, yellow jewelweed.
Impatiens balsamina, commonly known as balsam, garden balsam, rose balsam, touch-me-not or spotted snapweed, is a species of plant native to India and Myanmar.
Helicia is a genus of 110 species of trees and shrubs, constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. They grow naturally in rainforests throughout tropical South and Southeast Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia to New Guinea and as far south as New South Wales.
Impatiens etindensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is endemic to Cameroon, where it is known only from Mount Cameroon. It grows as an epiphyte on trees in mountain forest habitat.
Impatiens frithii is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is endemic to Cameroon, where it has been found in the Bakossi Mountains and on Etinde, part of Mount Cameroon. It is an epiphyte growing on small trees and shrubs in elfin forest habitat. It is small and inconspicuous when not bearing its bright red flowers.
Impatiens grandisepala is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is endemic to Cameroon, where it is known only from Mount Cameroon. It has been collected only once, in 1979. It is an epiphyte that grows in shady mountain forest habitat.
Impatiens letouzeyi is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is endemic to Cameroon, where it occurs in the Bakossi Mountains. It grows as an epiphyte in trees and shrubs, as well as a terrestrial herb. It is threatened by plans for the construction of a reservoir in the area.
Impatiens meruensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is found in Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its natural habitats include mountain forests, streambanks, and swamps. It may grow in the spray zones of waterfalls. It is generally a widespread species in its range, at least in the uplands of Kenya.
Impatiens morsei is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is endemic to China, where it only occurs in Guangxi.
Impatiens omeiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is endemic to China, where it occurs in Sichuan.
Impatiens pritzelii is a species of plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is endemic to China.
Impatiens sakeriana is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is native to Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. It grows in mountain forest understory habitat at altitudes up to 2000 meters. It occurs on Mount Cameroon. It can be locally common in parts of its range, but its habitat is threatened by agriculture.
Impatiens wilsoni is a species of flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae. It is endemic to China, where it is known only from Sichuan.
Impatiens parviflora is a species of annual herbaceous plants in the family Balsaminaceae, native to some areas of Eurasia, naturalized elsewhere and found in damp shady places. Impatiens parviflora can grow in sandy, loamy, and clay soils and prefer moist soil.
Bombus impatiens, the common eastern bumble bee, is the most commonly encountered bumblebee across much of eastern North America. They can be found in the Eastern temperate forest region of the eastern United States, southern Canada, and the eastern Great Plains. Because of their great adaptability, they can live in country, suburbs, and even urban cities. This adaptability makes them a great pollinator species, leading to an increase in their commercial use by greenhouse industry. This increase consequently led to their farther spread outside their previous distribution range. They are considered one of the most important species of pollinator bees in North America.
Hydrocera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Balsaminaceae (balsams). It contains a single species, Hydrocera triflora, from Southeast Asia. It is the only other genus in the family Balsaminaceae besides Impatiens.
