Desmodium gyrans (telegraph plant)

I've got some Desmodium seedlings, and they don't seem to respond to touch like my mimosa plants. Does anyone know what the deal is with these plants? Aren't they supposed to exhibit rapid movement?

Thanks,
Nile
 
I believe its a herb. I dont know about any strange properties
 
Well, my desmodium plants have finally started to twitch at last!
 
What? They just move when ya poke em? Sounds like my kinda plant!
 
Actually, they don't seem responsive to touch...maybe more light sensitive. When they're getting direct sunlight, some of the smaller leaves move up and down like slowly moving butterfly wings, and others move in a circular motion.
