Very much has the characteristics of Mimosa pudica or known locally as "makahiya" here in the Philippines, this plant opens and closes its leaves depending on the time of the day. Its leaves open early in the morning, when the sun rises, and closes around 4 in the afternoon. Notice that there are flower bulbs underneath aligning the branches of the plant. Those are little podlike bulbs that turn into flowers.
