Jewelweed (Impatiens Pallida) is a flowering plant native to Canada and the United States. Jewelweed has branching stems. Flowers are tube or funnel shaped with a narrow spur at the back that bends down. There are 2 round broad lower lobes and a much smaller upper lobe. Color is yellow with reddish spots, especially near the base of the lower lobes, but the spots are sometimes absent. Leaves are hairless, toothed, and generally oval to egg-shaped. Stems are heavily branched, hairless, light green, and may be translucent. Fruit is a slender pod about 1 inch long that bulges in the middle as the seed ripens. When ripe, the pod explodes at the slightest touch, sending seed in all directions.
