The Rose of Jericho - Selaginella lepidophylla, is also known as the Resurrection Plant and Dinosaur Plant.

It is a native fern of North Africa, Central and South America.

It can survive for years and even decades in it's dormant state and loose up to 95% of it's water content. Most plants will perish with 40% water loss.

When the Rose of Jericho has no water it goes into stress mode and stops photosynthesising.

I purchased this Resurrection Plant online as a novelty and in this video add a little rain water to see how long it would take to wake it up from it's deathly slumber.

Unfortunately, although the water did resurrect the plant, It did not show any signs of life or photosynthesize (change colour).
