Description:

I found this plant while a friend and I were in Taiwan, and he told me that it will "close" its leaves if I touch it.

Here in the Philippines we call it "Makahiya", which roughly translates to being shy. It's nice to know that it's in Taiwan too. If I see it here I'll make a video as well.

It's a Mimosa or 'Sensitive plant'. The leaves are reacting to your salty fingers taking their moisture away. They close at night usually also or if they don't have water. One of my favorite plants.
