They usually have feathery foliage and rounded clusters of fragrant pinkish flowers atop the branches. Mimosas are used for ornamental purposes in warm regions. The yellow-flowered plants sold as mimosa by florists are usually of the related genus Acacia (see acaciaacacia , any plant of the large leguminous genus Acacia, often thorny shrubs and trees of the family Leguminosae (pulse family).

Most widely known of the mimosas is the sensitive plant (M. pudica), considered a weed in the American tropics but cultivated as a greenhouse annual elsewhere because its leaves fold up and collapse under stimulus (e.g., touch, darkness, or drought) until the whole plant may assume temporarily a thoroughly wilted appearance. It is now naturalized in many warm regions and grows wild in the Gulf states. The name sensitive plant is also applied to other plants of this family that show similar movements. Mimosa is classified in the division MagnoliophytaMagnoliophyta , division of the plant kingdom consisting of those organisms commonly called the flowering plants, or angiosperms.

They include perennial grasses, shrubs (at times twining), and trees. The plants often have spines that are modified sepals. The leaves are bipinnate, and the small flowers are in capitate or spicate inflorescences. The fruit is a scarious or leathery pod, which usually separates into segments upon ripening. There are between 450 and 500 species, distributed primarily in tropical and subtropical America; a few species are found in Africa and Asia. The leaves of some species are sensitive. This sensitivity is particularly pronounced in the sensitive mimosa (Mimosa pudicd), a shrub or subshrub widespread in the tropics of both hemispheres. When touched or with the approach of darkness, the leaflets fold together in pairs, and then the entire leaf droops. At times, species of the genus Acacia that grow on the Black Sea shore of the Caucasus are called mimosas (for example, Acacia dealbatd). Mimosa[mə′mō·sə]mimosaMIMOSA
