Dave Highton (born 31 January 1980) is a former professional rugby league footballer who played as a hooker for the Warrington Wolves, Salford City Reds and the London Broncos in the European Super League. He signed for Halifax to play in National League One, but injury forced him to retire aged just 25.[2][3]
Whilst at Warrington he was given a 10 month ban for steroid use[4] for which he was sacked by the Wolves.[5] He was later given a chance to resurrect his career at Salford.[6]
His elder brothers Paul Highton and Chris Highton also played professional rugby league, with Paul playing for Wales at international level and Chris featuring for Warrington and the Swinton Lions.[7][8]

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.
