I was wondering what can be the meaning of species name pudica here. On searching on net I got one interesting meaning. I don't know whether the leaves fold at night? *pudic- **shrinking, closing, modest (Mimosa pudica, so named because the pinnate leaves fold up the leaflets at night or when touched)** * On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 10:27 PM, Balkar Arya <balkara...@gmail.com> wrote:
