Abstract: Impatiens dalaiensis Gogoi & Borah is reported here as a newly recorded species in China. It is distributed in the Gaoligongshan Nature Reserve in Tengchong County, Yunnan Province, and grows in water ditches under evergreen broad-leaved forest. It differs from other related species by the following characters:flowers verticillate, purple; lower sepal navicular, aristate at mouth; distal lobe of lower petal long-lorate and twisted. The author who published this species stated that the type specimen was collected from India. However, when the type locality GPS latitude and longitude were marked on a map, the site was located in Chayu County, Tibetan Autonomous Region, China. Therefore, we question the type locality information recorded in the original description.
