I had the good pleasure of attending FOSS4G Seoul. One of the organizers (Heegu Park) early on told me, in response to the workshop I planned, something to the effect of “Whatever you need, Steve, ask for it. Nothing is impossible.”  The organizers truly were capable of fulfilling any request.  More on that later.

Last time I was in Seoul, I took lots of pictures. This time, so few, I’m afraid. But I took a few. I need some help with botanical sleuthing.

There is a flower native to the Eastern United States called jewelweed. Jewelweed is no exciting flower, but common in moist places, useful for treating poison ivy and other skin ailments. It’s medicinal and is among the first plants that I learned in walking in the woods in Southeast Michigan and Northwest Ohio. In the floodplains of Halfway Creek near my childhood home, it was common to the point of being weedy. (The above photo is from Geauga County in Northeast Ohio).
While hiking near Ongnyeobong Peak (옥녀봉 — the romanization is based on the sign at the peak, but I’m not sure it’s right) south of Seoul I saw this little impatiens in very similar habitat:

Anyone know it’s common or botanical name?
