Impatiens exilis Hook. f  ????

Most probably I. exilis – in one picture short peduncle is visible with three pedicels, small pink flowers, long filiform spur, plant comes from lower altitudes.

Which Impatiens?

This should be Impatiens exilis. There is similar I. infundibularis with bigger flowers.
Difficult to be sure without measurements.
