Hi friends
just returned from a lovely trip to the north Bengal hills and
forests. Five of us (Ruma Chakraborty, Indraneel Chatterjee, Joy
Goswami and Shampa Goswami) visited Buxa Tiger Reserve-Chilapata
Forests and Jaldapara WLS, and seen lots of wildlife, wild plants and
birds.

Enjoyed bathing in Jainty river and hill streams at Buxa, the elephant
ride thru dense forest at Jaldapara was exciting, the butterflies of
the hills were awesome....and the rhinos of forests simply
amazing...the hills were clothed with wild flora....got spectacular
views of the buxa hills on moonlit Purnima nights....
sharing images of wild flowers taken in the Buxa hills near Tashigaon
(2000 feet).

plz help with the IDs.

regards
Shantanu : )

Hi,
 Obviously some species of Impatiens possibly the Common Balsam [Impatiens balsamia].
                           Regards,
                            Neil Soares.

A reply from Dr. M.K.Pathak:
"This could be Impatiens racemulosa"

I don't think this one is I. racemulosa.
You can compare your plant with pictures and description in recent paper:
Verma D., Lavania S., Gogoi R. 2016. Recollection and lectotypification of Impatiens racemulosa Wall. ex Hook.f. & Thomson (Balsaminaceae). Webbia 71,1:1-4.
I. racemulosa is regarded as endemic species, known only from Meghalaya, it has completely glabrous flowers, very small upper lateral petal, more narrow lower sepal, and racemose inflorescence

I think it appears more closer to specimens of I. tripetala at GBIF and image at Impatiens tripetala

Any opinion from members on earlier opinion from Mr. Garg : I think it appears more closer to specimens of I. tripetala at GBIF and image at Impatiens tripetala. ??
Thank you.
