Teodoro "Dorino" Serafini (22 July 1909 – 5 July 2000) was a motorcycle road racer and racing driver from Italy.
A native of Pesaro (Marche), he started his bike racing career in 1928, on a Benelli 175cc. He won the 1939 500cc European Championship on a Gilera, with victories in the German, Swedish and Ulster Grand Prix.[1] He switched to single seater car racing in 1947, starting in a Cisitalia D46.[2] He participated in one Formula One World Championship Grand Prix on 3 September 1950, when he finished second and scored 3 championship points, his points being halved as he shared the drive with Alberto Ascari. Serafini remains the only Formula One driver to have scored a podium finish in every World Championship Grand Prix they entered. He also competed in several non-Championship Formula One races.
Serafini finished second in the 1950 Mille Miglia. He retired from racing full-time after sustaining serious injuries during the 1951 Mille Miglia, which required multiple operations over several years. He made a come back for the 1954 Brescia-Rome-Brescia race, finishing 7th overall and first in the GT class.[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.
