Sanjivani is name also given to Cheilanthus farinosa/ C. albo-marginata in Maharashtra. And I have seen a Selaginella species on sale in Pune market under same name. The term appears to be commonly used for plants showing desiccation tolerance- (Poikilohydry) especially of homoiochlorophyllous (=that retain chlorophyll as it is) type. I haven't seen it used so far for poikilochlorophyllous (=that retain chlorophyll is a changed nature and have to resynthesize after moistening) species such as of Tripogon or Eragrostis spp. I have special interest in this group in India, as they frequent rocky habitats which I study, so if you all can list out species that you know which show this character, it will add to my knowledge. regards aparna
