A reply: "Dear Vijayasankar, This balsam with small flower and spurless lip leans more towards Impatiens inconspicua. 'Annuae' group of balsams in Western Ghats are the most difficult ones to identify. The lobed or unlobed nature of wing petals, presence or absence of dorsal auricle, presence or absence of spur are the main key characters used to distinguish different species. Especially, I. inconspicua species complex forms the toughest group. The place of occurrence is another important clue as most of them are endemic. If you happen to remember where it was located pls let me know. From: Dr. V.Bhaskar"
