The leaves close up when you touch it, and it has sharp thorns. It is a scrambling perennial 2-4 feet high.[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>
Unfortunately, that probably isn't correct, because that same plant has been renamed
Mimosa nuttallii, or Catclaw Sensitive Briar, according to my updated version of
Wildflowers of Texas, I remember reading about it about a week ago, because it's wildflower season in wildflower country!!!!

Hmm, I don't know, I think that is probubly it. It's not the same plant as the common Mimosa, it doesn't look the same.
