Chavalert Chumkum was a former world-class badminton player who represented Thailand from the early 1960s to the early 1970s.
Career
[edit]At a time when Thailand was known for its doubles specialists, Chumkum won more Thai national men's doubles titles than any other player of his era.[1] His Thomas Cup (men's international team) record is particularly noteworthy. Participating in the '60-'61, '63-'64, and '69-'70 campaigns (Thailand declined to compete in '66-'67), Chumkum won 19 of the 23 doubles matches that he contested in ties (team matches) against Indonesia, Denmark, Malaysia, Japan, and India among other nations.[2][3] He captured the men's doubles title at the 1965 Asian Badminton Championships with Narong Bhornchima.[4] Touring internationally in 1968 he shared the Dutch Open and the Canadian Open men's doubles titles,[5] and reached the All England Open men's doubles semifinal, with Sangob Rattanusorn.

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.
