Endemic to: Western Ghats (of India) . Place: along Doddabetta Road, Ooty.
Time: November 17, 2011 at 1.25pm Habit: erect herb, about a metre high Habitat: growing wild on hill slope. Flower size: about 1″ long X 3/4″ wide … had missed putting elevation where this plant sighted … please read it as: about 8430 ft asl. We can explore two possibilities 1. Impatiens candida
2. Impatiens bicornuta due to two horned buds
http://mrimpatiens.ImpatiensbicornutaBumblebee.jpg 1) Impatiens candida does not show horizontal lobes of corolla seen in the posted plant.
2) Impatiens bicornuta, illustration at Flora of China seems very different from the posted plant. Response from Derik of Mr Impatiens via …: Derick sir is right this may be Impatiens leschenaultii. Herewith I am attaching Wright’s?/ Wight’s Illustration for your kind perusal.
Thanking you.
