Arrernte Sign Language, or Aranda Sign Language, also known as Iltyeme-iltyeme (handsigns),[1] is a highly developed Australian Aboriginal sign language used by the Arrernte people of central Australia.[2]
Ilyeme-iltyeme is not generally used as a primary method of communication but used alongside speech, gesture and drawing practices. The language was first documented by Carl Strehlow in 1915.[3][4][5]
A similar counterpart in central Australia is Warlpiri Sign Language (Rdaka-rdaka).[1]

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.
