Sensitive Plant (DSC_8646)
Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudica) (නිදිකුම්බා) is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. The compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later. It grows mostly in undisturbed shady areas, under trees or shrubs. The species is native to South America and Central America, but is now a pantropical weed.
