Handleyomys rostratus, also known as the long-nosed oryzomys,[2] long-nosed rice rat,[1] or rusty rice rat[3] is a species of rodent in the genus Handleyomys of family Cricetidae.[4] It is found in Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. It is nocturnal and is found in forests at elevations above sea level to 1200 meters.[1] Handleyomys rostratus attains its highest level of development in south and Central America.[5] High rates of deforestation and habitat destruction are the biggest threat to Handleyomys rostratus.[6]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
