After going through the paper, it's not just "alien plant with eyes", but rather "alien mimic plant with eyes"! This plant "sees" other plants around (above?) itself and changes the shape of its own leaves to match those of the other plant.
I wonder if the effect can be chained, and if so, how long the chain could be? I'm imagining an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking the first alien mimic plant with eyes.
