NGC 4383 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Coma Berenices, within the Virgo Cluster. It was discovered on 23 May 1862 by Eduard Schönfeld.[2] It is one of the most H I-rich galaxies in the cluster, hosting a 6-kiloparsec (20,000 ly) bipolar outflow, travelling at an average velocity of 210 kilometres per second. The outflow was studied using the Multi-unit spectroscopic explorer (MUSE) at the Very Large Telescope (VLT).[3][4]

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.
