Today I found this small plant with a yellow balsam flower and a couple of seed pods. Impatiens scabrida is a common flower here but not at this time of the year. I brought the plant home and photographed it. The flower is deeper yellow with unequal lower lips. It could very well be the same species but I wanted to be sure. Could this be some other impatiens? Please advise.

I still suppose this is I. scabrida - see horn on upper petal.
However, time of year is really strange. 
This is probable reason why plant is only ca. 20 cm high and rather strange looking.
Best regards             Wojciech

Dear Mr. Garg,
I am with Ashutosh after reading the paper that the plants in Dharamshala almost certainly belong to Impatiens tricornis. I will observe the flowers closely in June/July again and report if there are any doubts.

Thank you Ashutosh for the correction.

Regards,
Ashwini
