凤仙花属（学名：Impatiens）为杜鹃花目凤仙花科中的一属，为本科最大的属，约有900余种，分布于旧大陆热带、亚热带山区和非洲，少数种类也产于亚洲和欧洲温带及北美洲。本属植物茎通常肉质，多汁，花下面4枚侧生的花瓣成对合生成翼瓣；果实为多少肉质弹裂的蒴果。果实成熟时种子从裂爿中弹出。通常分部于降水量大或湿度大的森林中，林缘、山谷阴处、河岸、溪流和湖边湿洼地生长，是构成林下植被的重要成分之一。本属选模式种为水金凤[1]。 凤仙花（Impatiens balsamina） 非洲鳳仙花（Impatiens walleriana） 锐齿凤仙花（Impatiens arguta） 野凤仙花（Impatiens textori） 参考资料 ^ 中国植物物种信息数据库 外部链接 维基共享资源中相关的多媒体资源：凤仙花属 维基物种中的分类信息：凤仙花属 ABC Impatiens Flora of China: Impatiens species list Flora Europaea: Impatiens Flora of Madagascar: Impatiens species list GardenWeb Impatiens Forum Identifying and harvesting edible and medicinal plants in wild (and not-so-wild) places the vibrant world of Busy Lizzies, Balsams, and Touch-me-nots Jewelweed image UK National Plant Collection of Impatiens 取自“https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=凤仙花属&oldid=53119111” 分类：凤仙花属 隐藏分类： 物种微格式条目 含有拉丁語的條目 本地链接的维基共享资源分类与Wikidata不同

Impatiens is a genus of more than 1,000 species of flowering plants, widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere and the tropics. Together with the genus Hydrocera (one species), Impatiens make up the family Balsaminaceae.
Common names in North America include impatiens, jewelweed, touch-me-not, snapweed and patience. As a rule-of-thumb, "jewelweed" is used exclusively for Nearctic species, and balsam is usually applied to tropical species. In the British Isles by far the most common names are impatiens and busy lizzie, especially for the many varieties, hybrids and cultivars involving Impatiens walleriana. "Busy lizzie" is also found in the American literature. Impatiens glandulifera is commonly called '''policeman's helmet' in the UK, where it is an introduced species.
