People found a dancing plant in Guangxi, which is called dancing grass or anemone. It is a small perennial shrub of Leguminosae with purplish red flowers.
Dancao has three compound leaves and a pair of lateral leaflets. The lateral leaflet is only 2 cm long, but it can make a 3-degree loop or swing up and down happily. Although they are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, they are always so rhythmic. The wonderful thing is that sometimes one side leaflet goes up gently and the other side leaflet goes down gently, just like a beautiful dance. Sometimes the two leaflets close up at the same time, and then slowly split apart, like a butterfly spreading its wings lightly. If many lateral lobules dance at the same time, the lobules in the valley are one after another, which is amazing! Dancing grass doesn't need external stimulation to close like a mimosa, but it can dance freely there without any stimulation, which is really attractive.
At night, Dancing Grass rested. Its small leaves hang down like a closed knife. Why did it take such a gesture? Because in order to carry out photosynthesis during the day, it is necessary to maintain the enlarged area and spread the posture of the leaves, which consumes energy. Adopting this posture at night can reduce some energy consumption.
However, even when sleeping at night, Dancing Grass still does not forget to dance. It's just much slower
It is still a mystery why Wucao dances. People are only in the guessing stage at present.
more than p>2 years ago, it was discovered that dancing grass was distributed in South China, Southwest China, India, Myanmar, Vietnam, Philippines and other countries.
Dancing grass is still a herbal medicine. It can relax muscles and activate collaterals, and it can also eliminate phlegm. There are many "specialties"!
Nepenthes that "eat" insects
Does grass open its mouth to eat insects like frogs?
yes! This kind of grass is called Nepenthes, and its hometown is in southern Guangdong and Yunnan.
Nepenthes is an evergreen semi-woody vine shrub with a height of more than 3 meters. The strangest thing about its appearance is its leaves. The bottom of the leaves is green and looks flat, much like the leaves of ordinary plants. In the middle, it is a thin vine like a rope, which can be rolled or hung on other plants. The top is the strangest. From the thin vine, a colorful bottle grows. The bottle is small and big, and it looks like a bag. It looks like a cage used by people in southern China to transport pigs, so it is named "pigsty" There are about 7 varieties of this kind of grass, so the shapes and colors of bottles are also varied, including cylindrical, pot-shaped and even funnel-shaped; Some are small and exquisite, but 3.3 cm long, and the big ones are 4 cm long. These bottles dress themselves very beautifully, golden yellow, purple red, and even have exquisite patterns. With a fine suit, they can attract those bugs.
