Dear Garg ji, Yes,these images are of *Impatiens violodes* Edgew. ex Hook. f. The large white flowers with spurless navicular lowersepal makes it quite distinct and an easy to identify species. This species is endemic to a small area/valley in Eastern Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh close to Uttarakhand state border. Infact the above images by the late Sh. Krishan Lal ji was also clicked from near same locality where I have collected the plants. For details please see our recent publication, as the paper is not open access so I can't share it here but anyone interested can send me a request on researchgate or on email https://www.researchgate.net/publication/379666113_Rediscovery_of_rare_steno-endemic_Impatiens_violoides_Edgew_ex_Hookf_Balsaminaceae_from_Western_Himalaya_after_179_years_of_type_collection
