What is a calliandras adaptation?

Calliandra, a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, has several adaptations that enable it to thrive in various environments. One key adaptation is its ability to fix nitrogen through symbiotic relationships with root-nodulating bacteria, enhancing soil fertility. Additionally, Calliandra species often have leaves that fold at night or during dry conditions, reducing water loss and protecting against herbivory. These adaptations help them survive in diverse habitats, from tropical rainforests to arid regions.
