Trying to find the species namefor African impatiens.  Narrowed down to
niamnimensis or auricoma.  Anyon eknow? Kitty

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I know that I. niamniamensis is African, there are clones of
it called 'African King', 'African Queen' and 'Congo <I forget>'.
I'm not sure about I. auricoma ; another name for it is
I. comorense, indicating origin in the Comoro Islands, hence
not African.
There's more than one African Impatiens; I. hians being one;
if you can find that one, grab it.
