Codariocalyx motorius (though often placed in Desmodium Genus), known as the telegraph plant, dancing 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.
This plant has small, lateral leaflets which move at speeds rapid enough to be perceivable with the naked eye. This is possibly a strategy to maximise light by tracking the sun. Each leaf is equipped with a hinge that permits it to be moved to receive more sunlight, but the weight of these leaves means the plant must expend a lot of energy in moving it. To optimise its movement, each large leaf has two small leaflets at its base. These move constantly along an elliptical path, sampling the intensity of sunlight, and directing the large leaf to the area of most intensity. Another hypothesis has been offered that the rapid movements are intended to deter potential predators.
Apart from ornamental value, the plant also has medical value, due to its leaves, stems and roots containing small amounts of tryptamine alkaloids, especially DMT and 5-MeO-DMT.
گیاه تلگراف یا گیاه رقصنده گیاهی قابلیت حرکت سریع است
برگهای گیاه با صدا یا نور حرکاتی از خود نشان میدهند حرکات این گیاه به اندازه حرکات حیوانات نیست و آهسته است ولی در حد یک گیاه بسیار جالب است
و حرکت با چشم قابل مشاهده است. بذر این گیاه کمیاب اولین بار سال 1394 توسط بانک بذر جنوب وارد ایران شده است و هم اکنون در فروشگاه های معتبر بذر قابل تهیه است
سه نوع گیاه با قابلیت حرکت سریع تا بحال کشف شده اند یکی همین گیاه تلگراف یا رقصنده است ، دو تای دیگر گیاه قهر و آشتی و گیاه ونوس حشره خوار هستند
