Literature | Noli me Tangere Touch me not. The words Christ used to Mary Magdalene after His resurrection. It is the motto of the Order of the Thistle. A plant of the genus impatiens. The seed vessels consist of one cell in five divisions, and when the seed is ripe each of these, on being touched, suddenly folds itself into a spiral form and leaps from the stalk.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Noli me tangere is the Latin version of the words spoken by Jesus to Mary Magdalen, meaning "Do not touch me" (the quotation appears in John 20:17). The words were a popular trope in Gregorian chant, and the moment in which they were spoken was a popular subject for paintings.
Its modern English meaning is "Do not disturb/interfere".
