There are plant species that spread their seed through a process of seed pods in tension.

When triggered by a close air pressure change or something touching them the built up pressure in the seed pod walls is released flinging the seed up to 10 feet depending on which species.

I'll ask one of my prof's if they can identify which species your plant is.
