The Dhimar is a caste in India, sometimes referred to as a subcaste of boatmen.[1]
Communities that are related to the Dhimar Kashyap Kashyap Rajput Mehra live in Uttar Pradesh, haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh include the Dhinwar, Dhewar , Jhimar,Jhinwar, Jhiwar, Kanshilya , Koshyal. There were proposals in 2013 that some or all of these communities in the state should be reclassified as Scheduled Castes under India's system of positive discrimination; this would have involved declassifying them from the Other Backwards Class category.[1] Whether or not this would happen was a significant issue in the campaign for the 2014 Indian general election.[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.
