Mimosa pudica; also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, Dormilones, touch-me-not, or shy plant) is a creeping annual or perennial herb of the pea family Fabaceae often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later. The fruit consists of clusters of 2–8 pods from 1–2 cm long each, these being prickly on the margins. The pods break into 2–5 segments and contain pale brown seeds some 2.5 mm long. ഒരു ഔഷധ സസ്യമാണ് തൊട്ടാവാടി. (Mimosa Pudica Linn). Mimosaceae എന്ന സസ്യകുടുംബത്തിൽപ്പെട്ട ഈ സസ്യം, ബ്രസീൽ ആണ് ജന്മദേശമെങ്കിലും ഇന്നു ഭൂമധ്യരേഖാപ്രദേശങ്ങളിൽ പരക്കെ കാണപ്പെടുന്നു.
