There isn't a lot to say about this plant. It wouldn't rate a page if it wasn't a popular houseplant, and even that is only due to its novelty status. I linked ePhylum's excellent description but I cannot currently find Hooker & Greville's original work on the topic. It ought to be online somewhere, though. And I am going to delete the mobility comment as I cannot currently substantiate it. Vreejack 16:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


Need to be combined with Rose of Jericho. Yosri 12:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
There's now a redirect to Spikemoss for Selaginella lepidophylla, which redirects back to Rose of Jericho -- there are two plants with the common name Rose of Jericho. The image on Rose of Jericho is not Anastatica hierochuntica -- it is Selaginella lepidophylla (which is a spikemoss, NOT a fern, as stated in the redirect). Sci girl 04:07, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I reverted the page to differentiate Anastatica hierochuntica from Selaginella lepidophylla. -- Sci girl 04:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
