The Southern Cross was used as a time indicator and Mimosa
signified death (†)
followed by rebirth (*).
... Whittier said, in his Cry of a Lost
Soul: 'The Cross of pardon lights the tropic skies'; which
is correct for our day, as it is not now entirely visible above
27º 30' of north latitude. It was last seen on the horizon of
Jerusalem - 31º 46' 45'' - about the time that Christ was
crucified. But 3000 years previously all its stars were 7º above
the horizon of the savages along the shores of the Baltic Sea,
in latitude 52º 30' ...
Von Humboldt adds: The two great stars, which
marks the summit and the foot of the Cross, having nearly the
same right ascension, it follows that the constellation is
almost perpendicular at the moment when it passes the meridian.
This circumstance is known to the people of every nation
situated beyond the Tropics or in the southern hemisphere. It
has been observed at what hour of the night, in different
seasons, the Cross is erect or inclined. It is a time piece,
which advances very regularly nearly four minutes a day, and no
other group of stars affords to the naked eye an observation of
time so easily made. How often have we heard our guides exclaim
in the savannahs of Venezuela and in the desert extending from
Lima to Truxillo, 'Midnight is past, the Cross begins to bend'
...
... The Sensitive plant (Mimosa
pudica L.) is a creeping annual or perennial herb often
grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward
and droop when touched, re-opening within minutes. Mimosa
pudica is native to Brazil, but is now a pantropical weed.
Other names given to this curious plant are Humble plant,
TickleMe plant, Shame plant, Sleeping Grass, Prayer plant,
Touch-me-not, Makahiya (Philippines, meaning 'shy'),
Mori Vivi (West Indies), mate-loi (false death)
(Tonga) ... In the evening the
leaflets will fold together and the whole leaf droops downward.
It then re-opens at sunrise ...
