These include the telegraph plant and the silk tree.

Charles Darwin also called the telegraph plant a Hedysarum.

Telegraph plant (Codariocalyx motorius)

Members of this genus are among the few plants capable of rapid movement; examples outside of Mimosa include the telegraph plant, and the venus flytrap.

The Venus flytrap is one of a very small group of plants capable of rapid movement, such as Mimosa, the Telegraph plant, sundews and bladderworts.

Codariocalyx motorius - Telegraph Plant (as D. gyrans, D. motorium, D. roylei)

He found electrical 'pulsations' or oscillations in electric potentials, and came to believe these were coupled with rhythmic movements in the telegraph plant Codariocalyx motorius (then Desmodium).

Codariocalyx motorius (though often placed in Desmodium), known as the telegraph plant or semaphore plant, is a tropical Asian shrub, one of a few plants capable of rapid movement; others include Mimosa pudica and the venus flytrap.

Originally earning notoriety for producing the first ever orchid made into a perfume, the Udorn Sunshine Nursery, just northwest of town, has since developed a hybrid of Codariocalyx motorius ohashi leguminosae that curiously 'dances' to music.
