Mosetén–Chon is a proposal linking the Mosetenan languages (actually a single language, Chimane or Tsimané) and the Chonan languages of South America. Kaufman (1990) finds the connection fairly convincing.

  1. 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.
