Selaginella lepidophylla, commonly known as the resurrection plant, is a species of spikemoss found primarily in arid regions of North America. It is notable for its ability to survive extreme dehydration, curling up into a tight ball when water is scarce. When exposed to moisture, it can rehydrate and return to a green, leafy state within hours. This plant belongs to the family Selaginellaceae and is often used in decorative arrangements due to its unique appearance and resilience. Selaginella lepidophylla thrives in rocky, dry environments, showcasing its remarkable adaptation to harsh conditions.
