Some researchers claim that a Chilean vine can mimic the leaves of a plastic houseplant thanks to a form of primitive vision. But extraordinary claims require equally extraordinary evidence.
The other possibility is that there are multiple concurrent signal pathways, chemical, genetic, optical, that interact to create the effect. Science likes “mini-machines” like an eye that can work in isolation, but nature often capitalizes on sets of effects.

That was my immediate thought.
