Forwarding again for Id assistance please. Some earlier relevant feedback:
Our mystery white Impatiens again... Wojciech I am of the naive feeling that it may be unexplored species. If I am not mistaken this one is pending for ID with Flowers of India since 6 years; Tabish has the feeling that it could be a new species. Regards. Dinesh Yes Dinesh ji With more than 200 species reported from India, I think a lot of digging is needed, but then for this and other interesting species we will have to take multiple photographs from different angles, lower and upper leaves on stem pictures and pictures of fruit, and then make a few herbarium specimens, if we are sure it is a new species. I have a feeling this may even be true for Geranium, which has lesser species in India but with interesting variation. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh We need to dig in only little more than one hundred :-) - Balsaminaceae flora is poor in regions to the north and west of Hiamlayan range and till now no one species from Western Ghats was found in Himalayas and vice versa...
