It’s in the same genus as species who show this behavior, yes. Not sure if this specific species does it though. In any case, even with non-retracting species the interaction is between plant and observing human. In the meme it is just between particles and their environment in general, not related to an observer.
To clarify, “observer” in the double slit experiment has nothing to do with humans, or consciousness, or anything like that. It has to do with it interacting with something on the other side of the slit. This thing, that creates (or “observes”) an interaction, collapses the waveform. A human can watch or not. It doesn’t change the results of the experiment.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the meme apart from similar wording. The underlying mechanisms are completely different
Judging from the name of the plant alone, it’s just one of these plants where the leaves somehow retract in reaction to some stimuli, right ?

Yes, I tried to communicate this difference, but didn’t know how to
