According to a little Web research this morning, Orange Jewelweed is an introduced species in North America. It is also called Touch-me-not and is actually an Impatiens. It is often used as a natural cure for skin rashes and poison ivy in particular. I found these specimens growing by the small Pond at the Kennebunkport Land Conservancy headquarters at Emmons Preserve.
