Mimosa is a genus of about 400 species of herbs and shrubs, in the subfamily Mimosoideae of the legume family Fabaceae, with evenly bipinnate leaves.

 Mimosa leaf   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In Mimosa, the mechanical or heat stimulus induces an electrical signal, similar to the electrical potentials in nerve cells, that can move from cell to cell at a high rate.
When the electrical potential reaches specialized "motor cells" in pulvini at the base of each leaflet, the folding is caused by a rapid efflux of potassium followed by rapid water transport out of the motor cells.
If the applied stimulus is great enough, the signal produced is strong enough that it can propagate further and faster and cause the rest of the leaf to fold in several places as can be seen in this other real-time movie of a stronger response.
