Digalodon is an extinct genus of kistecephalian dicynodont, known from the Karoo Basin of South Africa and the Upper Madumabisa Mudstone Formation of Zambia.[1] Originally given a sparse description in 1948,[2] for a time it was considered synonymous with other dicynodonts as a small juvenile individual of a larger genus, such as Aulacephalodon[3] or Dicynodontoides;[4] however it has since been recognized as a distinct species.[5]

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.
