Sharing few photographs of Mimosa pudica. Common name: Lajalu Family: Mimosaceae Location: Mumbai Habitat: Wild Plant habit: Herb. is it wild in Mumbai???? no doubt photos are awesome Yes …, i had seen this as wild only. I don’t know how wild it is but if planted in gardens it can grow very rapidly and spreads around a vast areas. Often it can grow in open spaces as garden escape too. … is right… it escapes and grows spontaneously over extensive grounds, I know of a upper end club west of Calcutta that had acres of green lawn, that was almost fully invaded by two plants that I love… one was this: mimosa pudica and another was bringharaj ..eclipta alba… e. alba is I think native and m. pudica is an import being from mexico originally if I remember … both were behaving as if they were very comfortable in the area ….. ……, you mean you have seen Mimosa pudica growing wild in the forest of Mumbai?? I had seen this at the base of Trombay hills. May be as indicated by yourself, … and …, this could as well be the garden escape. Thanks for sharing your views.
