It's Latin name is Codariocalyx motorius (though often called Desmodium gyrans) It belongs to the bean family (Fabaceae) and is a tropical Asian shrub. It's famous as one of the plants capable of rapid movement; others include Mimosa pudica and the venus flytrap. How can it move?

The dancing plant.... Codariocalyx motorius ! Thanks to our student Sonya for taking this video ( slight time lapse). Only two other plants are known to do rapid movement.. the Venus fly trap and the sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica) so of course we needed this for the @ucdavisbotanicalconservatory . Most likely the small leaflets move to track the sun or ward off predators. Thanks @flori.culture.orchid.supplies for supplying this. The plant is tropical and needs greenhouse conditions. #dancingpla
