If its thorny and has small pink pineapple shaped flowers with fluff, then you are looking at a mimosa plant in our language its called "MAKAHIYA" meanining shy one. I hope its the right plant that I'm describing :)
Its basically a weed in our country a very hardy but fun one, kids play with its leaves, but they will never open again if you remove them from the stem when trying to make open and close.

My roommate just got one of those plants the other day. Well rather she got the seeds to grow one of those plants. She's been growing them for awhile and she's rather amused at how they work. I admit, I'm alittle interested in them but I'm not into plants as much as she is.
