Ebenales is an order of flowering plants.[1] This order was recognized in several systems, for example the Bentham & Hooker system and the Engler system, although the Wettstein system preferred the name Diospyrales'. In the 1981 version of the Cronquist system it was an order placed in subclass Dilleniidae with the following circumscription:
- order Ebenales
- family Ebenaceae[2]
- family Sapotaceae[2]
- family Styracaceae[2]
- family Symplocaceae[2]
In the APG II system all the plants involved are assigned to the hugely expanded order Ericales.[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.
