Impatiens species (mixed thread): 2 posts by 2 authors. 1 correct image as above.
This impatiens have been shot from Sikkim by my friends … Kindly confirm the species and obliged.

These are two species – notice difference in colour and shape of lateral petals.

Unfortunately, however, these pictures don’t give enough details for identification.

From Sikkim only, about 50 Impatiens species are known…

Image 1 looks closeness to Impatiens yui S.H.Huang and image 2 is Impatiens puberula DC..

We should ask to Dr. Gogoi regarding this. Researchgate .

the white flowered plant with pink vein is Impatiens uncipetala C.B. Clarke ex Hook. f. 

The pink flowered plant is Impatiens decipiens Hook.f.

Is there any connection between Impatiens uncipetala and Impatiens yui  ?
