[L., impatient.] (Bot.)
A genus of plants, several species of which have very
beautiful flowers; -- so called because the elastic capsules
burst when touched, and scatter the seeds with considerable
force. Called also touch-me-not, jewelweed, and
snapweed. Impatiens Balsamina (sometimes called lady's
slipper) is the common garden balsam.
