I found details of the Impatiens Parviflora and its exploding properties on the Spanish Wikipedia. But digging deeper, it seems the general term for exploding seeds is "Ballocoria" (Latin), only found in a sub-section: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersi%C3%B3n_de_los_prop%C3%A1gulos#Dispersi%C3%B3n_bal%C3%ADstica https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersi%C3%B3n_de_los_prop%C3... https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5LWNvcHk%3D_e1c522fa-64ae-4864-a427-20166760bcc8 https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5LWNvcHk%3D_e1c522fa-64ae-4864...

I have found some footage of the seedpod exploding [1]. It seems that Impatiens parviflora is invasive species that propagated from botanical gardens in Europe. One research [2] states it can shoot seed up to 3.4 meters.
