The 2014–15 Liga MX season (known as the Liga BBVA Bancomer MX for sponsorship reasons) was the 68th professional top-flight football league season in Mexico. The season was split into two competitions: the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo Clausura; each of identical format and contested by the same eighteen teams.
Teams, stadiums, and personnel
[edit]Eighteen teams competed that season. Atlante was relegated to the Ascenso MX after accumulating the lowest coefficient over the past three seasons. Atlante was relegated and replaced by the Apertura 2013 Ascenso MX champion Leones Negros, after defeating in a promotional play-off the Clausura 2014 title defenders Estudiantes Tecos.

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.
