Notes:—For his new species Impatiens tangachee, Beddome (1859) mentioned only locality in the protologue, but he did not mention collection dates and numbers.

The specimen K000694947, is designated here as the lectotype as it agrees well with the protologue and also in having dissected flower parts pasted on the sheet by Beddome.
