Apparently Mimosa pudica can remember the consequences of its environmental conditions in the same way an animal would. "Dr Monica Gagliano from the University of Western Australia and her colleagues designed their experiments as if Mimosa was indeed an animal. They trained Mimosa‘s short- and long-term memories under both high and low-light environments by repeatedly dropping water on them using a custom-designed apparatus. The scientists show how Mimosa plants stopped closing their leaves when they learnt that the repeated disturbance had no real damaging consequence. The plants were able to acquire the learnt behavior in a matter of seconds and as in animals, learning was faster in less favorable environment. Most remarkably, these plants were able to remember what had been learned for several weeks, even after environmental conditions had changed." Amazing stuff. http://www.sci-news.com/biology/science-mimosa-plants-memory-01695.html
