History[edit]
According to locals, Chikkadpally derives its name from chikkad, meaning mud. And -pally (originally palle, పల్లె in Telugu) means place or hamlet. Since Chikkadpally is in a low-lying area, it is usually plagued by chikkad due to inflow of drain water.[1] According to some other locals, Chikkadpally derives its name from cheekatipally (place/hamlet of shadows).

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.
