Impatiens 24022010 JM3- Bhutan Flora: 5 high res. images.
Attaching old images one by one for the ID, as I didn’t have time to post them earlier.
I think these are from Thimphu in Bhutan at an elevation of around 7500 ft.
More images showing habitat and leaf images?
But I am not sure.
Yes ID is correct.
Yes, it appears close to the images at
