Impatiens noli-tangere, also known as touch-me-not balsam, is an annual plant found in wet areas in Europe, Asia, and North America. Its name comes from the Latin words for "impatient" and "do not touch", as its pods forcefully explode when ripe, scattering its seeds. This plant is also referred to as touch-me-not, yellow balsam, jewelweed, western touch-me-not, or wild balsam.
