Dear Muthu Karthick, This balsam is what I have named as Impatiens pseudo-acaulis Bhaskar (2012) [= I. scapiflora var. pseudo-acaulis Bhaskar (1975)] as it is most often identified as I. acaulis due to the two prominent lobes in the wings. The basal lobe (3rd lobe) is small and not visible from a distance.
