Wikipedia

  1. anastatica hierochuntica

    Anastatica is a monotypic genus of plants in the family Brassicaceae containing the single species Anastatica hierochuntica. The plant is a small gray annual herb that rarely grows above 15 centimetres (6 in) high, and bears minute white flowers. It is a tumbleweed capable of hygroscopic expansion and retraction. However, it is not a true resurrection plant, because the plant's dead tissues do not revive and turn green. This species is not to be confused with Selaginella lepidophylla, also sometimes referred to as "rose of Jericho", or "false rose of Jericho", which is a true resurrection plant that can revive from a dried state and regain the processes of respiration and photosynthesis.

  1. anastatica hierochuntica

    Anastatica hierochuntica, commonly known as Rose of Jericho, is a desert plant species from the family Brassicaceae. It is famous for its remarkable adaptation to extreme drought conditions. When dry, it retracts its branches and its dried compact form can survive without water for years. Upon exposure to moisture, it expands and returns to life within hours, thus it is also often referred to as a "resurrection plant." It is native to the deserts of North Africa and parts of the Middle East.
