This species is the most significant of all “mimosas” for all sorts of horticultural & agricultural reasons. It is also here to show its different nomenclatural diffferences with Acacia pudica. It should not be confused with Acacia pudica Pedley

The following is just to show that the species M. unijuga is not quite a synonym of the above but only of a variety of it.

Mimosa pudica L. var. unijuga (Duchass. & Walp.) Griseb.

Mimosa endymionis Mart., Mimosa irritabilis C.Presl, Mimosa irritabilis Dum.Cours., Mimosa pudibunda Willd., Mimosa unijuga Duchass. & Walp.
