Edor "Red" Nelson (August 18, 1914 – August 27, 2014) was an athlete and sports coach at Augsburg College—now known as Augsburg University–in Minneapolis. He played baseball, football, and basketball at Augsburg before graduating in 1938. He returned to Augsburg as a coach, serving as head coach of the baseball team from 1946 to 1979, the football team from 1947 to 1969, the wrestling team from 1949 to 1963, and the men's ice hockey team during the 1956–57 season. He also served in the United States Army during World War II and served several months in German prisoner-of-war camps before escaping. After the war, he received a master's degree from the University of Minnesota in 1947.[1][2] He was inducted into the Augsburg Athletics Hall of Fame in 1975.[3] Augsburg's athletic field, Edor Nelson Field, is named in Nelson's honor.[4]

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.
