Beautiful click and great work dear Dinesh ji.

Doesn't know it's specific name, so I suggest the Malayalam name as ബാൾസം, translation of English balsam and another common name മഷിത്തണ്ട് mashithandu for Impatiens sp. The name മഷിത്തണ്ട് mashithandu is derived because of its fleshy soft stem used as an eraser by kids to delete pencil writings on slate in early times. And let us wait for experts comments.

With regards, Sam.

Thanks very much, dear Sam ji, for earnest attempts at coining a name for this plant.

I suggest we refrain from Malayalam spellings of English names.

മഷിത്തണ്ട് mashithandu is nice name, its meaning too is good. However being a generic name for Impatiens spp., it will be good to have unique prefix to mashithandu for every species that needs a name.

The epithet fasciculata means banded OR bundled.

Please check whether you can come up with translation for bundled / clumped / clustered / grouped / arranged

For example, my attempt - കുലകളായി മഷിത്തണ്ട് kulakalaayi mashithandu ... but I am not at all confident with my try, since I do not what other meaning it would make.

Regards.

Dear Dinesh ji,

Well-done!! It is a good attempt and needy to naming to plants those haven't Malayalam name. I agree with you, and your suggestion must be rearrange to മഷിത്തണ്ട് കുലകൾ mashithandu kulakal or മഷിത്തണ്ടിൻ കുലകൾ mashithandin kulakal (second is better). Please forward this suggetion to experts for their opinion,

With regards, Sam.

Thanks very very much, Sam ji, for the two options of names.

Let us go with a new name only if it is easy and convincing, needing no opinions.

Regards.
