• DESCRIPTION: This hand-colored lithograph of the Leafless-Stem Balsam (Impatiens scapiflora) was drawn and rendered on stone by S. Holden. First published in "Paxton's Magazine of Botany," the artwork highlights the delicate beauty of the Leafless-Stem Balsam with the meticulous detail typical of botanical illustrations from this period. Native to Southeast Asia, Impatiens scapiflora is known for its striking, tubular flowers that range in color from deep pink to purple, with a unique, elongated spur. Thriving in moist, well-drained soils and shaded environments, it typically blooms in late summer to early fall. As a member of the Balsaminaceae family, Impatiens scapiflora is a popular choice for ornamental gardens due to its vibrant flowers and distinctive, leafless stems.
