Anastatica

Anastatica is renowned for its remarkable ability to survive in arid environments. This small, grayish plant typically exhibits a compact structure with branches curling inward during dry conditions, a process that aids in moisture conservation. Upon contact with water, anastatica dramatically expands, unfolding its branches in a display that facilitates seed dispersal. This adaptive behavior underscores its resilience in harsh desert climates.
