Tabish ji I could not find the two attachments mentioned by you: There seem to be two distinct forms of Impatiens bicolor, as seen in the two attached illustrations. They may be different varieties of Impatiens amphorata as described in Flora of British India vol I, page 475-476, later merged into Impatiens bicolor. Comments are welcome.
The single attachment by you has I. biflora on left and I glandulifera on right.
