Hildebrand, a British official. Seeds of it were presented to the Royal Gardens (Kew) in 1899 and it flowered in 1900 and a description was published in 1901 by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Dalton_Hooker" target="_blank">Joseph Dalton Hooker</a>.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impatiens_psittacina#cite_note-1" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impatiens_psittacina#cite_note-1</a> The specimen in Kew did not set seed but the capsules are said not to explode and disperse seeds as in many Impatiens. The species grows in the wild in a small region of north Thailand (near Chiang Mai), Burma, and in the north-east Indian state of Manipur. It is called the parrot flower because its flower bears a resemblance to a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrot" target="_blank">parrot</a> in flight when viewed from the side. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impatiens_psittacina" target="_blank">Wiki</a> </blockquote>
