The Ngombal, also known as the Ngumbarl, are an Aboriginal Australian people of Western Australia.
Language
[edit]Adequate documentation of the Ngombal language is lacking, but the evidence suggests it was one of the Nyulnyulan languages, with William B. McGregor speculating that it may have belonged to the western branch.[1]
Country
[edit]In Norman Tindale's estimation, the Ngombal's tribal lands covered some 1,200 square miles (3,100 km2). They were a coastal people with an inland territorial reach of about 30 miles, located between the Djaberadjabera to their north, the Nimanburu to the east, the Yawuru to the southeast and the Djugun to their south.[2][3]

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.
