Desmodium gyrans, also known as the telegraph plant, is a unique houseplant that moves its leaves in a slow but rhythmic way that resembles Morse code. Although it is commonly known as the telegraph plant, it also has several synonyms, including Hedysarum gyrans, Codariocalyx motorius, and Desmodium motorium. These synonyms are due to the plant's scientific classification changes over time. Regardless of the name, this plant remains a fascinating addition to any collection and is a perfect plant for those who are interested in unique and uncommon flora.
