Photographed on 11 July 2012 Is the capsule in your specimen is glabrous? if so it should be I. dasysperma. In I. talbotii, the capsule is tomentose. I remember the capsules were glabrous. Thanks a lot for the simple key to differentiate .

Found these growing wild in Cardamom plantations at Munnar. Is this plant Impatiens munnarensis? Experts please help… I had earlier posted similar flower from Munnar which was identified as Impatiens pulcherrima.
Here is the discussion thread for the same…
You are right this Impatiens pulcherrima. That’s why I asked for help. I. talbotti as per another thread. This is Impatiens dasysperma, a common balsam of the Section: ‘Microsepalae’. I. talbotii and I. pulcherrima do not occur in southern part of Western Ghats. Good photos indeed. .

Pictures taken in a spice garden in Munnar during October, 2008.
Posted on our group earlier and identified by I could locate two more pictures taken in the same place.
I hope they are helpful. I have doubts… Please compare your photographs and photograph on FOI webpage – flowers on your plants have narrow petals.
In this paper Dessai J.R.N., Janarthanam M.K. 2011. The genus Impatiens (Balsaminaceae) in the northern and parts of central Western Ghats. Rheedea 21,1: 23-80.
there are descriptions and some pictures similar to your plants – maybe I. talbotii?
Hope … could help This herb is very similar to the one I have uploaded as I. dasysperma; is that name synonym for I. talbotii? According to paper by Dessai & Janarthaman
“Impatiens dasysperma is similar to I. talbotii Hook.f. but differs in the presence of quadrangular stem, obovate standard petals and glabrous capsules as compared to circular stem, orbicular standard petals and tomentose capsules of the latter.”
Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with Western Ghat balsams… This is Impatiens dasysperma, a common balsam of the Section: ‘Microsepalae’. I. talbotii and I. pulcherrima do not occur in southern part of Western Ghats. Good photos indeed. .
