Impatiens glandulifera, also known as Himalayan Balsam, is a plant species that was first discovered in 1840. Its creator remains unknown to this day. The flowers of this plant have been dissected and it has been observed that the male phase is located above. Another related species called Royles balsam or Impatiens roylei exists alongside the Himalayan Balsam. These plants attract various pollinators such as bumblebees (Bombus sp), which can be seen nectaring on their blossoms in Surrey, England. Apart from its aesthetic appeal, there are alternative medicinal uses associated with this plant and has been explored for its potential benefits in alternative therapies and treatments. Himalayan Balsam is not limited to one region; it can be found in different parts of Europe including Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. Single flowers bloom beautifully in Untergroeningen. However, it's important to note that the introduction of this invasive species into certain areas has caused concerns. River Loud serves as an example where flowering Himalayan Balsam poses a threat due to its invasiveness. Impatiens glandulifera or Himalayan Balsam offers both visual delight and potential medicinal properties while being mindful of its impact on local ecosystems when introduced outside its native habitat.
