For the link above this should be Mimosa prainiana, pods and prickles on sutures do not resemble to M. hamata.

Mimosa hamata
At Pattadakal,karnatak
4 Oct,2013


what is the difference between mimosa hamata and pudica


Mimosa pudica is a small low-spreading shrub scarcely more than 50 cm tall, M. hamata is robust shrub up to 2 m tall
M. pudica has only 1-2 pairs of pinnae crowded at tip of rachis, M. hamata has 3-6 pairs of widely spread pinnae
M. pudica has 12-20 pairs of leaflets, whereas M. hamata has 6-10 pairs of leaflets
Fruit in M. pudica is less than 2 cm long, glabrous with spinous sutures, it is 5-8 cm long in M. hamata with velvety surface and prickly sutures.
M. hamata, is however much closer to M. himalayana in which pinnae are 5-12 pairs, and pod glabrous
