Read about Selaginella lepidophylla in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Selaginella lepidophylla, Spring. Resurrection Plant. Sts. 2-4 in. long, densely tufted, spreading in a close spiral so as to form a flattish expanse, curling closely into a ball when quite dry: lvs. of lower plane oblique, obtuse, minutely ciliated, green on the face, paler below; lvs. of upper plane nearly as long, obliquely ovate, obtuse. Texas and Mex. to Peru.—Often sold dry under the name of "resurrection plant" (which see), as the absorption of water will cause the ball with a dull brown exterior to expand and show its bright green upper face of the sts. long after the plant is dead.
