| Coreopsis pulchra | |
Coreopsis pulchra is a North American wildflower of the Southeastern United States, in the family Asteraceae. Its common names are woodland tickseed, showy tickseed, and beautiful tickseed.
Coreopsis pulchra is native only to the Cumberland Plateau of northeastern Alabama (and perhaps historically in nearby Georgia)[2] where it grows on sandstone outcrops. Because of its narrow habitat requirements and small geographic range, this species is considered imperiled.
Coreopsis pulchra blooms from June through September, and the flower heads are gold with dark centers. It is a perennial, herbaceous plant that grows to a height of about 60 cm (2 feet).[3]

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.
