<p><i>Selaginella lepidophylla</i>, a real "Resurrection Plant". It belongs to the spikemoss family and it can survive in complete desiccation curling on itself, returning normal then in presence of water.
</p><p>The Real Rose of Jericho is very similar but it's not the same plant (it belongs even to another family), and it dies after 1 season, while the <i>Selaginella</i> does not.
