Sorry Emila, no luck finding the Impatiens pressings. I'm pretty sure
I'd collected some samples of I. capensis and I. pallida at one point
but I thik what happened is that they got wilted and crappy looking
before I pressed them so they ended up getting pitched. Apparently, you
can't be to much of a slack-ass in pressing Impatiens on a hot summer
day ;-) Kelly

Jeez -- not sure why I have Clematis on the brain. Must have read a
different posting somewhere about Clematis. I'll see if a can scrounge
up any Impatiens samples for you. I think I have at least one....

Hi Emilia -

I have a pressing of Clematis virginiana. I'll see if I can wrangle up
a digital file for you. Any deadline on this since it might take a bit
for me to get back to you?

thanks,
Kelly

Hi!
I'm a biology student participating in research on Impatiens; part of
it is skanning of leaves and analysing their shape. Unfortunately,
there are some three species where I live: I. noli-tangere (native), I.
parviflora and I. glandulifera (both introduced). It would be great
help to get at least a few shapes of other species and varieties'
leaves for comparison. If any of you is in possesion of an Impatiens or
has one growing nearby (ok, it seems like the worst time of the year to
search for an annual plant...), please try to grab a few adult leaves
(preferably with petals) and scan it or put it flat on white background
and take a photo of it. I will be very thankful if you could send me
some leaves by email and if, in turn, you're interersted in what comes
out of the analysis, don't hesitate to ask :-)

Thanks in advance!
Emilia
