Does anyone here know anything about a plant called Biophytum dendroides? I think I have the species right.. it's hard to read the hand-writing on the envelope

I was sent some seed and I can't find anything on this plant anywhere. I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer

Hi there PS

Here's a bit of info on Biophytum but I haven't heard of that species either?
I would use the info on this page to grow the one you have too if you can't find anything else.
Looks like they are a bit similar to Mimosa with regard to their being sensitive to the touch.

Biophytum sp.

Cheers, Troy

I currently grow B. sensitivum and its setting and dispersing seed right now. Its difficult when its small but once the leaves get a few cms long it grows rapidly.
