Viśuddhacāritra (Sanskrit: विशुद्धचारित्र; also known as Pure Practice), is one of the four great primarily or eternally evolved bodhisattvas mentioned in the 15th chapter of the Lotus Sutra.[1][2] He is considered to represent the "purity" characteristic of buddhahood, "Nirvana's freedom from all that is impure."[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.
