Bengt Ove Kindvall (born 16 May 1943) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a striker.

He represented his country at the 1970 and 1974 FIFA World Cups.

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.
