The difference between mimosa and mimosa

Mimosa and mimosa trees are both good-looking and fun to close their leaves shyly at a touch. So what are the differences between mimosa and Han Xiushu?

First, mimosa

Mimosa is a perennial herb or subshrub of Leguminosae, which is named mimosa because its leaves respond to heat and light and close immediately when touched by external forces. Shaped like a fluffy ball. Pods bear fruit after flowering, and the fruit is flat and round. The leaves are feathery and compound leaves are alternate and arranged in palms. Flowering about after the height of summer, heads oblong, 2-3 in leaf axils. Flowers are white, pink, calyx campanulate, with 8 tiny calyx teeth, petals quadrifid, stamens 4, ovary glabrous. The pod is flattened, with 1 seed per pod node, and the internodes fall off at maturity. The florescence is September.

The flowers, leaves and pods of mimosa have better ornamental effect, and are easy to survive, so they are suitable for potted flowers in balcony and indoor (human consumption or excessive contact with mimosa will also cause hair loss). It can also be planted in the courtyard and other places. Mimosa is different from other plants in that when touched by people, the petiole is drooping and the small leaves are closed.

Second, the shy tree

Mimosa, which belongs to the evergreen shrub or Xiao Qiao of the Leguminosae family, has a "shy" principle similar to that of mimosa. As long as it is stimulated by external forces, the leaves close quickly, and flowers cover the branches in spring and summer, followed by numerous pods. It is a kind of garden plant with ornamental value.

The shy tree is 4-5m high, with wide branches and leaves, prickly branches, bipinnately compound leaves, and rich in sensitivity.

Sex, the touch is drooping, the lobule is closed, and can soon be restored to its original state. Flowers small, light pink, inflorescences closely arranged. Flowers are full of branches in spring and summer, followed by pods, pods are densely bristled, and the flowering and fruiting period is from March to December.
