Common Jewelweed

Impatiens capensis, published in 1775, is a member of the Balsaminaceae family and is native to North America. It is widely distributed across regions such as Newfoundland, Alberta, British Columbia, and others in Canada, as well as in parts of Europe including Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. This plant is typically found in moist environments like bottomland soils, ditches, and creek sides. It is often found growing alongside the less common yellow jewelweed (I. pallida).
