Jewel weed is a common name for touch-me-not, and it is an antidote for poison
ivy. The name comes from the ripe flower's ability to burst when touched,
spraying seeds to propogate itself. It is a fleshy-stemmed, moisture-loving
plant which favors waterways and low-lying areas. Note, however, that despite
the juice's ability to ameliorate ivy itch, there is no substitute for washing
with soap and water after exposure.

Jewel weed is a native member of the genus Impatiens. It has a
juicy, clear sap that often relieves the pain incurred by poison
ivy, and fortunately for us, the two can usually be found side
by side in the wild.

It was the Plant of the Month for Mallorn back in September of
1997:
