The phenolic acid pattern of 17 species of Impatiens is presented. The presence of naphthoquinone derivatives in four new species is reported. A discussion of some prominent unidentified phenolic compounds on two-directional chromatograms is presented which includes discussion of possible forms in which naphthoquinones may exist in the living plant. The identification of scopoletin (6-hydroxy-7-methoxycoumarin) in several species studied marks the first report of this compound in the Balsaminaceae.
