At least one study has shown association between P. polypodioides and moss, [8] indicating that this fern may rely on moss for some of its water needs. Resurrection ferns rehydrated in their uncurled state. Resurrection ferns accumulate sugar in dehydrated cells in order to protect them and stabilize the membranes and proteins in the dry state.
Pleopeltis michauxiana, known as the resurrection fern, scaly polypody, and Gray's polypody, [3] [4] [5] is a species of epiphytic fern native to North America and Central America. [5] Pleopeltis michauxiana is found in the lower Midwest and Southeastern United States, Mexico, and Guatemala. [5] It is the most widespread epiphytic fern in North ...
Pleopeltis is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Polypodioideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). [2] The genus widely distributed in tropical regions of the world, and also north into temperate regions in eastern North America and eastern Asia.
Selaginella lepidophylla (syn. Lycopodium lepidophyllum), also known as a resurrection plant, [2] is a species of desert plant in the spikemoss family (Selaginellaceae). It is native to the Chihuahuan Desert of the United States and Mexico.

Polypodiaceae is a family of ferns.In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), the family includes around 65 genera and an estimated 1,650 species and is placed in the order Polypodiales, suborder Polypodiineae. [1]
Of California's total plant population, 2,153 species, subspecies, and varieties are endemic and native to California alone, according to the 1993 Jepson Manual study. [4] This botanical diversity stems not only from the size of the state, but also its diverse topographies , climates, and soils (e.g. serpentine outcrops ).
Historically both lycophytes and monilophytes were grouped together as pteridophytes (ferns and fern allies) on the basis of being spore-bearing ("seed-free"). In Smith's molecular phylogenetic study the ferns are characterised by lateral root origin in the endodermis , usually mesarch protoxylem in shoots, a pseudoendospore, plasmodial tapetum ...
