Cytochrome P450, family 10, also known as CYP10, is a cytochrome P450 family found in Lophotrochozoa belongs to Mitochondrial clan CYPs, which is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria(IMM). The first gene identified in this family is the CYP10A1 from the Lymnaea stagnalis (pond snail), which is highly expressed in the female gonadotropic hormone producing dorsal bodies.[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.
