Flora of New York/Ericales

Ericales Cornales Gentianales Ericales introduction Family Balsaminaceae The Balsaminaceae (balsam family) contains the two genera: Impatiens with about 1000 species and Hydrocera with a single species. Of these, four Impatiens species have been reported growing wild in New York.BalsaminaceaeBalsaminaceaeP.F. Stevens, P. F. (2001-2015). Angiosperm Phylogeny Website. Version 14, University of Missouri, St Louis, and Missouri Botanical Garden, April 2015. Impatiens thumb|right|Jewelweed with bright white water droplets at the edges of the leaves. Of the four Impatiens species found outside of cultivation in New York, all are annual herbaceous plants The two native species, spotted jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) and pale jewelweed (Impatiens pallida), are common in wet wooded areas throughout much of the state. Two non-native Impatiens species may also be found, but are less common. Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) is considered to be moderately invasive in New York. Garden balsam (Impatiens balsamina has been reported, but whether it has truly naturalized in the state is in question.

Its only species reported outside of cultivation in New York is the American persimmon tree, which consists mainly of escapes from cultivation.

In New York State, the only known native persimmon populations are in New York City and Long Island. Most of the naturalized trees in the state are assumed to be garden escapes. 9001 Diospyros virginiana Threatened S2 G5 The genus name Diospyros was derived from the Greek dios (divine) and pyros (wheat or grain) in reference to the tree's "divine fruit." Persimmons are dioecious, requiring the presence of both male and female trees to produce fruit. Ericales Ebenaceae Ebenoideae Diospyros Diospyros Persimmon 673 1 Diospyros virginiana L.
