Sensitive plant is an annual or long-lived (perennial) that normally grows to 50-70 cm tall (but can be up to 1 m tall), and often takes the form of a straggling prickly sub-shrub (Burkill 1995). Its stems have sparse prickles, 2-2.5 mm long, or are sometimes bristly, or can also be almost hairless.
