Clarkeinda is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae.[2] According to the Dictionary of the Fungi,[1] the widespread genus contains five species.[3] Species in this genus, especially Clarkeinda trachodes, are only distributed in south Asia and southeast Asia.[4][5]
Taxonomy
[edit]Otto Kuntze circumscribed the genus in 1891.[6] The first part of the generic name Clarkeinda honors British botanist Charles Baron Clarke, and -inda is derived from the Greek 'Iνδóς, meaning "pertaining to India".[7]

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.
