Law of the Jungle is a 1942 American adventure film directed by Jean Yarbrough.
Plot[edit]
An American singer, Nona Brooks, is stranded at a hotel in a British West African colony (implicitly from dialogue, Sierra Leone)[1] because her passport is missing. It turns out agents of Nazi Germany, in collaboration with corrupt/sleazy hotel owner Simmons, have stolen her papers, then try to use her for their nefarious schemes.
Brooks flees and encounters American paleontologist Larry Mason in the jungle. He and his assistant Jefferson Jones give her shelter, then fend off unfriendly natives while Simmons is murdered by the villainous German agents. All looks hopeless until the tribal chief turns out to be a reasonable, Oxford-educated man who helps Larry and Nona out of their jam.

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.
