These plants fold up their leaves when touched.
The species Acacia are littered with alkaloids.
In this case the tryptamines.

Sleeping grass is what everyone I know calls it too. Don't step on it with bare feet.

I thought I was the only person who remembered him. I once got a book of his from the Waianae library with a recipe for a papaya cut in half, with a link sausage put into the puka, and baked. I guess that was what you got to eat if you had more than a PINE TREE, "most parts are edible, you know".
