A resurrection plant is any poikilohydric plant that can survive extreme dehydration, even over months or years.
Examples include
- Anastatica hierochuntica, also known as the Rose of Jericho, a plant species native to deserts of North Africa
- Asteriscus (plant);
- Boea hygrometrica
- Haberlea rhodopensis
- Mesembryanthemum.
- Tillandsia
- Myrothamnus flabellifolius, a plant species native to Southern Africa
- Ramonda serbica, a species in the Gesneriaceae family
- Selaginella lepidophylla, a plant species native to North America, Central and South America, and sold as a novelty
- Lichen, a symbiosis that can survive in extreme desiccation
Certain resurrection plants have long been sold in their dry, "lifeless" form as curiosities. This custom was noted by many 19th century authors, and continues today.
