We had seen this flower way back in 2006 in the Valley of Flowers, and had been lying unidentified till now. Now it has been identified as *Impatiens meeboldii* http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Meebold%27s%20Balsam.html http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=250071529 All the aspects of Impatiens meeboldii which I could find, agree with our pictures, including nodding club-shaped seed-pods, pinkish white flowers, and the nearly straight spur.
