Mimosa pudica
"Dormilona" means "sleepy-head" (loosely translated). In English it is known as Sensitive plant, and Touch-me-not - all these names are due to the behavior of this plant whose leaves fold inward and droop when touched, re-opening minutes later.

It's an invasive here in Papua, a real pain (no pun intended).
These are everywhere and no matter where they are the are so elegant and lovely...until you get a thorn embedded in your foot!
