Anastatica
Anastatica is a monotypic genus with the type species Anastatica hierochuntica. The genus is a member of the family Brassicaceae (formerly Cruciferae), in the division Magnoliophyta of the class Magnoliopsida. The plant is a small gray annual herb that rarely grows above 15 centimetres (6 in) high, and bears minute white flowers. It is a tumbleweed and a resurrection plant.
The most commonly used common name in English may be rose of Jericho; other common names include Jericho rose, true rose of Jericho, Maryam's flower, flower of St Mary, St. Mary's flower, Mary's flower, and white mustard flower. About the name "rose of Jericho", the 16th century herbalist John Gerard is said to have remarked the coiner of the name spoiled it in the mint; for of all plants that have been written of not any are more unlike unto the rose.
This species is not to be confused with Selaginella lepidophylla, also known as "rose of Jericho" and "false rose of Jericho".
Natural history
Anastatica is found in arid areas in the Middle East and the Sahara Desert, including parts of North Africa and regions of Iran, Egypt, Palestine, Israel, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Pakistan .

Not Meant For Me
by: Wayne StaticYou think you're smart, you're not, it's plain to see
That you want me to fall off, it's killing me
Let's see, you've got the gall, come take it all
The jury is coming, coming to tear me apart
All this bitching and moaning, come on, it's on
I'm trapped in this world, lonely and fading
Heart broken and waiting for you to come
We are stuck in this world that's not meant for me, for me
So what you got? One last shot it seems to me
That you're not needed, come on, it's killing me
Let's see, you've got the gall, come take it all
The jury is coming, coming to tear me apart
All this bitching and moaning, come on, it's on
I'm trapped in this world, lonely and fading
Heart broken and waiting for you to come
We are stuck in this world that's not meant for me, for me
Come on, it's on, come on, it's on
Come on, it's on, come on, it's on
I'm trapped in this world, lonely and fading
Heart broken and waiting for you to come
We are stuck in this world that's not meant for me, for me
I'm trapped in this world, lonely and fading
Heart broken and waiting for you to come
We are stuck in this world that's not meant for me, for me
