Here is my contribution to medicinal plants collection: All parts of the Mimosa pudica contain toxic medicinal compounds: mimosine, antibiotic, antimicrobial, antidepressant and sedative. Photographed on pasture, Cairns, Queensland, Australia. It is native to Brazil, now widespread in Australia. Deep taproot. Seeds lie dormant in the soil for years. It is difficult weed to eradicate. http://www.kew.org/plants-fungi/Mimosa-pudica.htm Krystyna Szulecka
