A resurrection plant is any plant with the habit of reviving after seeming to be dead or of seeming to revive when being in fact dead.

Examples include

Anastatica hierochuntica, also known as the Rose of Jericho, native to deserts of North Africa
Pleopeltis polypodioides, the resurrection fern
Selaginella lepidophylla, native to North America, Central, and South America, and sold as a novelty item
Asteriscus;
Mesembryanthemum.
Ramonda serbica

The first three of these are commonly known as Resurrection Plant.

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.
