Tropical shrub with leaves sensitive to the touch (6)

I believe the answer is:

mimosa

(Other definitions for mimosa that I've seen before include "Australian 15 across" , "Variety of acacia" , "Tropical plant" , "So maim with tropical shrub bearing fragrant flowers" , "cocktail" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
