Very nice pictures Dinesh ji. I think the plant in lower part on Right side may be *I. tomentosa* as I can see the subcordate nature of the leaves. Rest I think are I. oppositifolia. *Impatiens oppositifolia* : Flowers axillary solitary or 2-3 together.(Lower left picture).Leaves linear lanceolate distinctly serrate.Lip conical like a hook. I*mpatiens tomentosa*: Flowers axillary solitary. Leaves upper linear, sessile obtuse subcordate.. Lower linear lanceolate, elliptic or ovate oblong; margins distinctly serrate. Upper surface hispid or tomentose, lower surface pale tomentose. Spur shorter than flower.
