Mimosa microphylla, commonly called littleleaf sensitive-briar, eastern sensitive-briar, or little leaf mimosa,[1][2][3] is a species of flowering plant in the legume family (Fabaceae). It is a perennial herb native[4] to North America, where it is found primarily in the southeastern United States.[5][6] Its typical natural habitat is in dry woodlands and forests, although it can also be found in disturbed areas.[5]

Description

Mimosa microphylla is a sprawling vine with a prickly stem. It has compound leaves, with 4-8 pairs of small leaflets per leaf.[5] Its leaves are sensitive to touch, and fold together immediately after being disturbed. It produces round heads of purple flowers from June to September.[7]
