Touch-me-not
Minosa Pudica
1.42549, 103.774
Field Notes
Description:
The stem is erect in young plants, but becomes creeping or trailing with age. The stem is slender, branching, and sparsely to densely prickly, growing to a length of 1.5 m. The leaves of the mimosa pudica are compound leaves. When anything brushes against the touch-me-not leaves, the leaves immediately go inward as a protection strategy.
Habitat:
These plants live in more tropic areas such as the Singapore American School Rainforest which is where I found it quite off trail.
Notes:
These plants interest me because it is cool how they have such a useful survival strategie of recoiling in and it amazes me how they can do such a thing.
