Balsaminaceae, mainly an Old World tropics and subtropics family, comprises more than 1,000 species <br />
in 2 genera. The previous molecular phylogenetic studies included only a very limited sample of Indo-‐Chinese, <br />
especially Thai taxa. To accomplish understanding of the family, relationships among Thai and worldwide taxa <br />
were analysed using parsimony based phylogenetic analyses of nuclear DNA sequence data, internal <br />
transcribed spacers (ITS), for 168 ingroup samples representing 1 American, 3 Europian and central Asian, 28 <br />
African, 19 Malagasy, 12 Indian, 48 Chinese, 1 Japanese, and 56 SE Asian (50 Thai) species.The preliminary <br />
results show that the Thai Impatienswere evolved from different lineages. Relationships between main clades <br />
remain unclear. However, a number of strongly supported monophyletic groups can be recognized and <br />
characterized by vegetative and reproductive characters. <br />
