Mimosa is a genus of about 400 species of herbs and shrubs, in the subfamily Mimosoideae of the legume family Fabaceae, with evenly bipinnate leaves. The best-known species is Mimosa pudica, also known as the Sensitive plant, or Sleeping grass, because of the way it folds its leaves down when touched; it and many others also fold their leaves in the evening. It is native to southern Mexico and Central America but is widely cultivated elsewhere for its curiosity value, both as an indoor plant in temperate areas, and outdoors in the tropics, where it has become an invasive weed in some areas, notably Hawaii.
This plant is one of a few plants capable of rapid movement, including the Telegraph plant, and the Venus Flytrap. (See also Rapid plant movement.)
The genus Mimosa has had a tortuous history, having gone through periods of splitting and lumping and ultimately accumulating over 3,000 names, many of which have either been synonymized under other species or transferred to other genera. In part due to these changing circumscriptions, the name "Mimosa" has also been applied to several other related species with similar pinnate or bipinnate leaves but now classified in other genera, most commonly to Albizia julibrissin (Silk Tree) and Acacia dealbata (Silver Wattle).
In Russia, it is customary to present women with yellow mimosas (among other flowers) on International Women's Day (March 8). This flower is from the Acacia dealbata (Silver Wattle), not the true mimosa.
