Is roingensis a ssp or a variation from the nominate?

May I request the authors and others, who published subsequently to tell whether to treat this as Impatiens roingensis Hareesh, A.Joe & M.Sabu or as syn. of Impatiens arguta (as followed by POWO).

I think Impatiens roingensis and Impatiens arguta are reasonably distinct. Impatiens arguta has a wide distribution, China South-Central, East Himalaya, Myanmar, Nepal, Tibet. Impatiens roingensis on the other hand is restricted to Dibang valley. I think the plant here is Impatiens roingensis. When we found Impatiens roingensis in Dibang valley, it never occurred to us at all that it could be confused with Impatiens arguta.

Thanks, Tabish ji.
But the authors themselves and Dr. Gogoi (subsequent publications as per references in POWO) think it to be a syn. of I.arguta

You are right about the publications Garg ji. I must say I am surprised with this. To me the lower sepal of the two look different.  In the original paper describing Impatiens roingensis, the authors did compare it with Impatiens arguta. However, I am no expert on these matters.
