Boquila trifoliolata plants grow in the forests of Chile and Argentina. What distinguishes these plants from other plants is the ability of their leaves to change their forms depending on the environment. We know that some plants climb on trees and twirl around their branches in order to obtain sunlight and support their expansion on the branches. This is normal, but the plant Boquila trifoliolata is working to camouflage its leaves in line with the forms of leaves surrounding plants.
Usually, camouflage in the neighborhood requires touch so that the organism can analyze and copy the entity that wants to camouflage it, but these plants are able to monitor and copy the shape that you want to mumble to him without physical contact with him, which opens the possibility that these plants can see (an electromagnetic monitoring of the reflection of the photons around it ).
More research is under way to verify the hypothesis of the ability of these plants to see, but to this day we do not know how these plants can know the shapes around them.
The evolutionary benefit of camouflage is to protect the leaves of this plant from the insects that eat the leaves. It is not a new organism in nature, and we call it Batesian mimicry where weak beings defend themselves by imitating organisms considered poisonous and harmful to their direct predators.
But the ability of these plants to see a new phenomenon is not yet well understood
