Myrothamnus is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Graptopetalaceae. It is commonly known as the "resurrection plant" due to its remarkable ability to survive extreme drought conditions. These plants can appear dead when dehydrated but revive quickly when exposed to moisture. Native to arid regions of Africa, particularly in Namibia and Botswana, Myrothamnus species have adapted to their harsh environments. They possess unique structures that help them conserve water and withstand desiccation. This resilience makes them a subject of interest for studies on drought tolerance and climate adaptation.
