''Mimosa pigra'', commonly known as giant sensitive tree, (''pigra'' = lazy, slow), is a species of the genus ''Mimosa'', in the family Fabaceae. It is native to the Neotropics, but has been listed as one of the world's 100 worst invasive species and forms dense, thorny, impenetrable thickets, particularly in wet areas. The genus ''Mimosa'' (Mimosaceae) contains 400-450 species, which are mostly native to South America. ''Mimosa pigra'' is a woody invasive shrub that originates from tropical America and has now become widespread throughout the tropics.〔 In In Groves R.H., Sheppard R.C.H., Richardson R.G.

''Mimosa pigra'' was first identified by Linnaeus,〔 In: Lonsdale W.M., Miller I.L., Forno I.W. (1995). ‘Mimosa pigra L’. In: Groves R.H., Sheppard R.C.H., Richardson R.G. (eds) ‘The biology of Australian weeds’. R.G. and F.J. Richardson Publishers, Melbourne, Australia, pp 169–188.〕 who also named a separate species ''Mimosa asperata'', on the basis of its different leaf morphology. ''Mimosa pigra'' was described as having an erect prickle between the pinnae and ''Mimosa asperata'' as having prickles in opposite pairs between the pinnae.〔 In: Lonsdale W.M., Miller I.L., Forno I.W. (1995). ‘Mimosa pigra L’. In: Groves R.H., Sheppard R.C.H., Richardson R.G. (eds) ‘The biology of Australian weeds’. R.G. and F.J. Richardson Publishers, Melbourne, Australia, pp 169–188.〕 Further research showed that both leaf forms can occur on the same plant, and consequently both species were united under the name ''Mimosa asperata asperata'', and later on, renamed ''Mimosa pigra''. The scientific name remains ''Mimosa pigra''. In Australia, the common name is mimosa or giant sensitive plant.〔 Other common names include: bashful plant, catclaw mimosa, black mimosa.〔Agnote. 466.
