  1. desmodium gyrans

    Desmodium gyrans, also known as telegraph plant or dancing plant, is a species of perennial flowering plant that belongs to the family Fabaceae. It is native to regions of India and Sri Lanka. What makes this plant unique is its ability to rapidly move its small lateral leaflets, giving an appearance of a mechanical movement. It is often referred to as a “dancing” or “telegraph” plant due to this unusual characteristic. The leaflets fold together under certain conditions such as touching, warming or shaking, this kind of movement is called "nastic movements".
