An American common name for plants of the genus Impatiens, particularly the native North American species Impatiens capensis (spotted jewelweed) and Impatiens pallida (pale jewelweed). Typically found growing along stream banks and in moist woodland areas, jewelweed is well known in folk medicine as a remedy for poison ivy rash and insect stings. The name likely comes from the way water beads and glistens on its leaves. The plant's seed pods snap open dramatically when touched, which is why the genus is also called 'touch-me-not.'
