Something is wrong here, or there are two plants called Rose of Jericho. Only I got a "resurrection plant" for Christmas, and it is nothing like this. It is like this: http://faculty.ucc.edu/biology-ombrello/POW/resurrection_plant.htm And it is a Selaginella lepidophylla, which is also called Rose of Jericho, as well as Spikemoss, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selaginella Whereas the "resurrection plant"/"rose of Jericho" listed here is entirely different (Anastatica hierochuntica) Istara 14:04, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Issues possibly due to conflicting common names

The photo in use is clearly Selaginella lepidophylla and is titled as such. I intend to remove it for this reason. I think the range may be confused because S. lepidophyllum is native to the New World; I suspect both plants' ranges were combined in this article. Sci girl 04:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Is this the same plant called maryam? or something about Mary?
