Craterostigma plantagineum, is a resurrection plant species in the genus Craterostigma. It is a dwarf growing plant and can be found (in ideal conditions) to make a 'carpet' across the ground, with blooms in shades of blue and purple. It is a well-studied desiccation-tolerant species known for its extreme vegetative tolerance against dehydration and desiccation.[3] It is native to parts of Africa and to India.[4] It is known as a resurrection plant (meaning it can dry out and stay dormant for long periods and then come back to life after some rain).
