Abstract
Abstract The group of exotic ornamentals known as the New Guinea impatiens is new to the U.S.A. and has created much interest among many gardeners and some plant breeders. This colorful and diverse assemblage comprises the original plant collections from the wild and hybrid cultivars developed by several research and commercial institutions. The plants were collected in the subtropical highlands of Australian New Guinea in 1970 by H. F. Winters and J. J. Higgins of the Agricultural Research Service who led an expedition for ornamental plant exploration in New Guinea. The expedition was cosponsored by the Agricultural Research Service, USDA, and the Longwood Foundation, Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. In 1972 the Plant Introduction Station, USDA, distributed the plants to various research institutions, commercial growers, and amateur breeders throughout the country.
