Impatiens falcifer Hook.f., Bot. Mag. 129: t. 7923 1903.;
.
Common name: Sickle Balsam • Tamang: राजा बुबु Raja bu bu
.
I am enclosing some pictures of Impatiens for ID.
Date: 26 JULY, 2014
Location: Dolakha District, East Nepal
Altitude : 7000 ft. Seems to be Impatiens scabrida commom in Nepal I can’t agree with this opinion. I am sure this is I. falcifer or someting very close. Shape of lateral petals is like in I. falcifer pictures. Besides, I. scabrida has big and wide lower sepal, lacking in this plant. I. falcifer for sure!

A couple of image of this appealing balsam which, I believe, originated in Nepal scanned in from slides.
Any ideas as to identity? I wrote about it several days ago, it is somewhat similar to I. falcifer but lower petals have different shape and lacks red or rusty markings. Impatiens falcifer Hook.fil. ! .
