Planta Morivivi
Este vorba despre o plantă specifică Republicii Dominicane, cu care se întâmplă "ceva" la atingere. Nu-mi dau seama exact ce: moare, se veştejeşte, se usucă sau doar se pliază, se închide:
"This plant is called the Morivivi plant. It ***shrivels up*** when touched and blooms again a short time after".
shriv·el [shrívv’l]
(past participle shriv·eled, present participle shriv·el·ing, 3rd person present singular shriv·els)
vti
1. shrink: to become or cause somebody or something to become shrunken or wrinkled, especially from drying out or aging
