Not the Impaiens sp. Kickaxia ramosiana
Correct spelling will be Kickxia ramosissima

Nanorrhinum ramosissimum (Wall.) Betsche Syn: Kickxia ramosissima (Wall.) Janchen Photographed from Devprayag, Uttarakhand, 30-5-2013 .
SK 3597 11 August 2022: 3 very high res. images. Location: Dunai, Dolpa, Nepal
Altitude: 2200m.
Date: 17 June 1022
Habit : Wild Kickxia sp. Thank you … for the clue. It is definitely Nanorrhinum but I could not match with any sp. listed in Nepal
according to eflora Nepal :
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=117091 Matching elevation is only Nanorrhinum ramosissimum (Wall.) Betsche but leaf shape look different.
Yes, the leaf shape refrained me from saying anything further.. Any possibility of Nanorrhinum macilentum (Decne.) Betsche which has got NO distribution in Nepal ??
It is Nanorrhinum ramosissimum (Wall.) Betsche, as per images and details herein. Leaves are quite variable.
