A new species of Balsaminaceae, Impatiens brahmagiriana, under the section Annuae, collected from the Brahmagiri peak in the Wayanad district of Kerala located in the southern Western Ghats of India, is described here. This species shares morphological similarities with I. inconspicua Benth. ex Wight & Arn., and I. madapurae Bhaskar & Sringesw., but differs in the leaf character, number of flowers, length and pubescent nature of pedicels, standard petal, lateral sepals, wing petals, dorsal auricle, lip and spur. A detailed description, photographic plate and comparison table are provided to ease species identification.
