Easiest way to verify that would be to touch the leaves :D

Pudica is also known as "sensitive plant" because the leaves close immediately when touched :) My aunt grew them in her garden when I was young. I have fond memories of trying to get every leaf on the plant closed before they started opening back up again :) I usually get a plant every spring from the local nursery for nostalgia and to pass on the wonder to the grandkids!

Also, pudica flowers are more pinkish...


So, @Fidur shall tickle the leaves. ;)

I'm sorry. This is no sensitive.
In fact this week I tocuhed some in a nursery. They have really big leaves.
This is a Desmanthus Virgatus, as was established before.
Thanks for your comments!
