%X A new Impatiens species, I. periyarensis is described from the Western Ghats, India. It is found on the open dripping rocks in semi-evergreen forests in Idukki. Additionally, an enigmatic taxon I. aliciae, from Valara, Idukki, is rediscovered after its type collections in 1933 by Barnes. A detailed description, illustration, phenology, and notes on both the species are provided.
