There are several species of Impatiens native to India....so a botanist could definitely help.
Harsha Singh
I will try to check with local botanists, if there are any. :)
Harsha Singh
Yes, this one is the closest best. But this one is a little more stripy. Stripes on the side petals too.

is this more like this? http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Impatiens_parviflora_-_blossom_front_(aka).jpg&filetimestamp=20050725203755

Ok thanks anyway. MM and NP, as Dan suggested even noli-tangere doesn't seen to have the same red stripes. No?
Dan Doucette
I wish I could, but I'm not sure. Perhaps AshishNimkar can help you.
Dan Doucette
I agree that it is probably Impatiens but I don't think it's pallida. Your spotting has much more red and yellow color on the petals,
Harsha Singh
You are right. But wiki says it's native to US.

This appears to be a species of Impatiens...perhaps you can find the species in a local flora
