Garden nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus)

The "Elizabeth Linnaeus Phenomenon" is linked to the plant Mimosa pudica, also known as the "sensitive plant" or "touch-me-not." This term describes the plant's unique reaction to touch, where its leaves quickly fold and droop.

Mimosa pudica has various applications:
1. **Traditional Medicine**: It is valued for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties.
2. **Agriculture**: It enhances soil quality by fixing nitrogen.
3. **Decorative Use**: Its responsive nature makes it an intriguing addition to gardens and indoor plant collections.
