Desmodium Gyrans
An interesting plant of the pea family, called
the moving plant, on account of the rotatory motion of the
leaflets. These move in all conceivable ways, either steadily or
by jerks. Sometimes only one leaf or two on the plant will be
affected; at other times a nearly simultaneous movement may be
seen in all the leaves. These movements are most energetic when
the thermometer marks about 80 deg.. This motion is not due to any
external or mechanical irritation.
