Myrothamnus flabellifolius is a plant species in the genus Myrothamnus found in Southern Africa.[1] It is also called the resurrection plant, for the speed with which apparently dead leaves revive when the rains come. (see Poikilohydry)
3,4,5-Tri-O-galloylquinic acid is a tannin found in M. flabellifolius.[2]
