Lycopodium bryopteris L. Lycopodium circinale L. Selaginella bryopteris (Devanagari:संजीवनी) is a lithophytic plant that is native to India.

The popular name sanjeevani translates as "one that infuses life," and derives from a plant that appears in the Ramayana.

The botanical identity of the plant described in the Ramayana is unclear, although Selaginella bryopteris has been suggested as a candidate.

[2] Sanjeevani grows on the hills of tropical areas, particularly in the Aravalli Range of mountains in India.

Traditional uses include relief from heat stroke, dysuria, irregular menstruation, and jaundice, but the effectiveness has not been scientifically validated.
