Biophytum Sensitivum Var. Nervifolium

Biophytum sensitivum var. nervifolium is a striking plant known for its rapid leaf movements in response to touch. This variant of the sensitive plant is native to tropical regions and thrives in warm, humid environments. Its leaves fold inward and droop when disturbed, a defense mechanism that has fascinated botanists for centuries. The plant's unique behavior makes it a popular subject in both scientific study and botanical gardens. Its beauty and responsiveness add an intriguing element to any collection of unusual flora.
