Contact stomatitis is inflammation or pain of the oral mucosa caused by external stimuli.[2] It is characterized by cutaneous lesions that may be located where the offending agent contacts the mucosa for a prolonged time.[1] Oftentimes it presents in the mouth after contact with hot food or from ill-fitted dentures or other irritant. Consequently, patients may seek resolve from their dentist rather than a dermatologist.[2] Unlike with allergic contact stomatitis, the skin requires no previous exposure to a stimulant before crafting an immune reaction.[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.
