I drove down to Chamba this weekend for a short break with family and found this growing on the hillsides between 640 and 1300m. I think this is the regular garden balsam and must have escaped sometime in the past. There were quite a few scattered populations of these. Please validate

e week Impatiens images for identification taken from nashik two days ago : 8 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (8)
attaching images to two Impateins for identification from Nashik. please identify This should be Impatiens balsamina var. coccinea (Wall.) Hook. f.; leaves cauline, alternate, deeply serrate, flowers pink or purple, axillary, solitary or fascicled with slender spur up to 2.5cm. In Impatiens lawii leaves are always oppositely arranged and sessile-to-subsessile. But in images leaves are alternate. Impatiens lawii does not have spur but this balsam has. I. lawii has opposite leaves but this has alternate leaves. Although photos are not that good, it looks like I. balsamina.

Sharing a photograph of Impatiens sp. seen at Ajinkyatara Fort, Satara region. This is the only photograph available. Believe it. It is a variety (mostly ‘rosea‘) of Impatiens balsamina. But seems an interesting variety if it totally lacks even a short spur (not so clearly visible in the photo). This balsam commonly exhibits a number of freaks, some I have seen with three spurs ! Hope this is not a freak and if all the plants in the population exhibit same character it may be worth studying it further, especially pollen, seed and chromosome numbers. Thanks a lot … for the valuable inputs. I will surely keep a watch on this during next flowering season.
