and go. These are very “sensitive,” fragile, annuals whose seeds do not have any dormancy, which makes me very surprised that they are behaving as an “invasive.” But my experience with these taxa is in the southeast, so I cannot really speak to their (mis)behavior
outside of this range. Johnny Randall <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All, <br>
<br>
I don't usually make comment to this group....I generally browse this list to see what new issues are popping up. As a biologist/ecologist/naturalist/land manager for 31 years in the Chicago area with the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, I have seen
this plant come and go. Deer do browse it heavily and tend to prefer it over most other plants. It does well in disturbed areas where the soil is rich, moist and semi shaded. I have always viewed it as sensitive plant that is easily displaced by weeds and
never thought of it as a problem plant in the Chicago area. The fact that it is spreading prolifically in other areas where it typically does not occur could be a symptom of a bigger problem. I would expect it to disappear when those problems are discovered
and solved. <br>

<i>Impatiens capensis</i> is, in my experience, a problematic species here west of the Cascade Range in the Pacific NW. The densities of this sp. are pretty amazing with the understory of riparian corridors often dominated by it. I’ve been seeing more and
more of it in the Willamette Valley and surrounding ranges here in Oregon with seemingly little attention paid to it.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy"> Interestingly, some land managers still consider this species native here on the West Coast, probably due to confusion with our native,
<i>I. ecalcarata</i> in some older floras and field guides. Ed Alverson of TNC wrote a short comment in reply to a posting on
<i>I. capensis</i> at the Botany Photo of the Day website:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

species are hybridizing. This has created a situation where the native species is potentially being out-competed by both the introduced species and by their hybrids. Zika has published another paper on the hybrid, which he has named Impatiens x pacifica ,

Has anyone had any experience with jewelweed (Impatiens) native to the eastern U. S. becoming weedy in valley marsh habitats in the intermountain West?
<br>
<br>
I see that jewelweed <i>Impatiens capensis</i> (orange jewelweed) is listed as a King County (WA) “Weed of Concern”.
<br>
<br>
This species is shown as having a yellow flowered form, which is what we are seeing.<br>
