ANASTA'TICA. (From anostasis, resur-

 property. Nat. ord., Crmifers [Brassi- 

 caceae]. Linn., \5-Tetradynamia). An 

 annual plant indigenous to the Egyptian 

 deserts and called the Rose of Jericho. 

 When full grown it contracts its rigid 

 branches into a round ball, and is then 

 tossed about by the wind. "When it alights 

 in water or on damp ground, the branches 

 relax and open out, as if its life was 

 renewed ; hence its name of resurrection 

 plant. Among the superstitious tales 

 told of it is, that " it first bloomed on 

 Christmas Eve, to salute the birth of the 

 Redeemer, and paid homage to his re- 

 surrection by remaining expanded till 

 Easter." This curious annual requires 

 frame protection during the colder 

 months ; increased by seeds in any com- 

 mon soil.
