Mimosa is a Weed of National Significance (WoNS) which has been assessed as a very high risk weed in the Northern Territory. It is considered a severe weed based on its invasiveness, potential for spread and environmental, social and economic impacts across Australia. A thorny shrub native to Central America, mimosa was first introduced into the Darwin Botanic Gardens in the late 1800's as an 'interesting' plant because of the ways its sensitive leaves respond to touch. By the late 1960's, it was observed spreading in areas within the Adelaide, Finniss, Daly, Mary and East Alligator River Catchments.,
