NGC 3718, also called Arp 214, is a galaxy located approximately 52 million light years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major.[4][2][5] It is either a lenticular or spiral galaxy.[6]
NGC 3718 exhibits a warped, S-shape similar to NGC 6872, possibly a result of gravitational interaction with NGC 3729, another spiral galaxy located 150,000 light-years away.[7]
NGC 3718 is a member of the Ursa Major Cluster.[8]
Hickson Compact Group
[edit]South of NGC 3718 the Hickson Compact Group #56 is located. HCG 56 is a compact group of galaxies of which 4 members are interacting with each other. This group is about 120 Mpc distant to our galaxy,[9] which is about 8 times more distant than NGC 3718.

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.
