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.
