Same story as previous question.

In the document that I am working on, this particular plant is planted as adonment in public areas in Mexico City.

impatiens
Explicación:
I would stick with impatiens, which is what most US gardeners know this flower as, including myself! Balsam is a less common name and used for many other plants as well. And as a colleague said, there are wild members of this genus that grow in shady moist places in the eastern US known as touch-me-nots. The cultivated variety also does well in shady moist places. In English, many other flowers are known only by their genus name: e.g., chrysanthemum, rhododendron, zinnia, to name a few.
