Mimosa is an independent genus in botany, one of the legumes and has its roots in the tropical regions of the world. Real mimosa are therefore rare in the European environment and botanically not to equate acacia, which are commonly referred to in everyday language as mimosa. The mimosa is a so-called subshrub, the most notable of which are their sequences of movements, with which the plant opens and closes its numerous leaves along a branch, specifically for the needs of sunlight or nutrients. Also on touch stimuli from outside the plant reacts in this way. Mimosa thus take over a significant part of the control of their intake of sunlight and the contact with rainwater and pests themselves and thus biologically represent a real peculiarity in the plant kingdom. Real mimosa grow today in many countries in South America, over the centuries, the mimosa also has the European mainland and is found exclusively in the southern European, Mediterranean countries. Along its thin branches and branches the mimosa also forms flowers in white or slightly violet color. The striking movement behavior of the plant, which causes an immediate retreat of the leaves in the smallest external stimuli, has also led to the proverbial importance of mimosa for a shy person.
