A reply: "Hi Muthu Karthick, Good photos indeed. At first look, it appears to be Impatiens inconspicua Bth. but surely belongs to I. inconspicua - I. pusilla complex. This is also available at Bababudans in Karnataka which Hook.f. has called I. inconspicua var. nematostachys. For more details see my book on Impatiensof Western Ghats. From: Dr. V.Bhaskar"
