Dear all, 

Many thanks for the identification. This plant is Rhynchoglossum notonianum (Wall) Burtt from Gesneriaceae.

[harithasandhya]

Yes, Rhynchoglossum notonianum,  East Indian Klugia.

Commonly seen in moist areas in the western ghats in Kerala, especially on wet rock faces near
waterfalls along with many impatiens species.
It is a good indicator species for wetness.
Delicate and beautiful flowers.
One of my favorite flowers. Thank you for sharing.
 Regards, Sandhya
