1. Anastatica

   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

   Anastatica is a genus of plants in the mustard family (Brassicaceae), commonly known as rose of Jericho or resurrection plant. They are typically found in desert environments and have the unique ability to survive extreme dehydration. During dry periods, the plant curls up into a tight ball and appears dead, but upon exposure to water, it unfolds and returns to life, hence the name "resurrection plant".
