  1. shame plant

    A shame plant, also known as Mimosa pudica, is a creeping perennial herb often grown for its curiosity value as the compound leaves fold inward and "droop" when touched, re-opening after few minutes. This plant is native to South and Central America, but it is now a pan-tropical weed. It's also known as the "sensitive plant," "sleeping grass," or "touch-me-not."
