Serinol is the organic compound with the formula H2NCH(CH2OH)2. A colorless solid, it is classified both as an amino alcohol and as a diol. It is structurally related to glycerol. Its name reflects the compound's relationship to the amino acid serine, from which it can be produced by hydrogenation. Other amino alcohols derived from amino acids: alaninol, leucinol, tyrosinol.
Biosynthetically, it is derived from dihydroxyacetone phosphate. It can be prepared in several steps starting with the condensation of nitromethane with two equivalents of formaldehyde.[1][2]
An N,O-protected form of serinol can be produced from serine.[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.
