Biggest difference is size of the flowers. While I. thomsonii is smaller than the width of your index finger, I. sulcata flowers are more than twice that size. However, this looks like *Impatiens glandulifera *to me. Impatiens sulcata has narrower and longer seed-pods: http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Gigantic%20Himalayan%20Balsam.html http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Himalayan%20Balsam.html I would appreciate validation from others. - Tabish
