The Makahiya (Touch-Me-Not)
Scientific Name: Mimosa pudica
There was a scientific study on the Makahiya suggesting that the plant could store memories and actually learn.
Known to us all, the Makahiya folds its leaves when it is “touched”.
In the experiment, water was repeatedly dropped on the plant. Naturally, at first, it closed its leaves but after a few seconds, it realized that the water was no real danger and stopped folding its leaves.
The idea that plants could learn might need further research to prove but somehow, this could be a lesson to us all.That even plants have the capability to think. That plants also have lives. That our duty in this world is not only to consume but to preserve nature before it is too late.
