The chirruping nightjar or kayumanggi nightjar (Caprimulgus griseatus) is a species of nightjar found in Philippines. Two subspecies are recognised: C. g. griseatus and C. g. mindanensis.[1] It was once considered conspecific with the savanna nightjar, while it is significantly different in vocalization.[2]

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.
