Mimosa pudica
''Mimosa pudica'' (from (ラテン語:pudica) "shy, bashful or shrinking"; also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant or shy plant) is a creeping annual or perennial herb of the pea family Fabaceae often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later. The species is native to South America and Central America, but is now a pantropical weed. It can also be found in Asia in countries such as Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. It grows mostly in undisturbed shady areas, under trees or shrubs.
==Taxonomy==
''Mimosa pudica'' was first formally described by Carl Linnaeus in ''Species Plantarum'' in 1753. The species epithet, ''pudica'', is Latin for "bashful" or "shrinking", alluding to its shrinking reaction to contact.
The species is known by numerous common names including sensitive plant, humble plant, shameplant, touch-me-not, chuimui in Hindi and Urdu, and lajalu in Marathi.
