The significance of seed characters for the taxonomy and evolution of <i>Impatiens</i> (Balsaminaceae) in China
The seeds of Impatiens are extremely diverse in both macromorphology (seed shape) and micromorphology (seed coat ornamentation, etc.), and this diversity is not only taxonomically important, but also for biological evolution and ecological adaptations.
