Mimosa pudica was one of the four species that significantly extracted and bioaccumulated the pollutant into its leaves. [25] Other studies have found that Mimosa pudica extracts heavy metals such as copper, lead, tin, and zinc from polluted soils. This allows for the soil to gradually return to less toxic compositions.

Nearly all parts contain toxic taxanes (except the red, fleshy, and slightly sweet aril surrounding the toxic seeds). [208] [209] The seeds themselves are particularly toxic if chewed. [210] Several people have committed suicide by ingesting leaves and seeds, including Catuvolcus, king of a tribe in what is now Belgium. Toxicodendron spp.
Mimosa leucophala Lam. Leucaena leucocephala is a small fast-growing mimosoid tree native to southern Mexico and northern Central America (Belize and Guatemala) [ 1 ] [ 4 ] and is now naturalized throughout the tropics including parts of Asia.
Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil – Bufotenin and Dimethyltryptamine have been isolated from the seeds and seed pods, 5-MeO-DMT from the bark of the stems. [46] The seeds were found to contain 12.4% bufotenine, 0.06% 5-MeO-DMT and 0.06% DMT. [47] Anadenanthera peregrina,
Mimosa diplotricha includes three varieties: [8] Mimosa diplotricha var. diplotricha C. Wright ex Sauvalle- The nominate variety. Characterized by seed pods that are 10 to 25 mm (0.39 to 0.98 in) long, with 3 to 8 seeds. Mimosa diplotricha var. odibilis Barneby - Found only in Mexico, from Sinaloa to Michoacán.
