Answer:

Mimosa pudica (from Latin: pudica "shy, bashful or shrinking"; also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, action plant,[3] touch-me-not, shameplant[2]) is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume FAMILY Fabaceae. It is 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.[4] In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3][5]

The species is native to South and Central America, but is now a pantropical weed, and can now be found in the Southern United States, South Asia, East Asia and South Africa as well. It is not shade tolerant, and is PRIMARILY found on soils with LOW nutrient concentrations.[6]
