Certaines plantes sont capables de survivre pendant plusieurs semaines à une dessiccation quasi totale de leurs organes aériens. À l'issue de ces « traversées du désert », leur réhydratation s'accompagne d'un redémarrage du métabolisme cellulaire, en 24 à 72 heures. Cette extraordinaire aptitude leur a valu les noms évocateurs de « végétaux reviviscents » ou « à résurrection » (ou encore poïkilohydres, du grec poikilos, variable), qui les distinguent des plantes adaptées à la sécheresse, mais qui ne subissent pas de déshydratation (elles n'y résisteraient pas), comme les plantes grasses (ou succulentes) et les autres xérophytes. 1, record 2, French, - v%C3%A9g%C3%A9tal%20reviviscent
