Impatiens badrinathii on efloraofindia

[Tabish]

Impatiens badrinathii is the same species as Impatiens chungtienensis (see the 2015 paper attached).
(meaning, it was incorrectly described as a new species)
So the correct species is:
Impatiens chungtienensis Y.L.Chen in Acta Phytotax. Sin. 16(2): 40, 44, fig. 1-2 (1978)
Synonyms:
Impatiens badrinathii Pusalkar and Singh in Taiwania 55(1): 13, fig. 1 A–W (2010)
Impatiens amplexicaulis auct. non Edgew.

Although it was originally discovered in China, it is also found in the  Himalayas, Eastern to Western.

I am attaching 3 images of Impatiens chungtienensis  for comparison.
    Cheers!

Tabish ji is correct.

Apparently Himalayas are corridor along which I. chungtienensis wandered from China to Uttarakhand (or in opposite direction?).
