Edward "Ted" Jackson (16 March 1925 – 5 February 1996)[1] was an Australian rules football player in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Edwards was one of few league players of Indigenous Australian heritage in the 1940s.[2]
At the end of the 1947, "Clubman", the Weekly Times football correspondent rated ex-Echuca Melbourne player, Eddie Jackson, the best of all of the first-year "former country players" in that year's VFL Competition: the second-best was the ex-Wycheproof Collingwood player, Alex Denney, and the third-best was the ex-Granya Footscray player, Norm Webb.[3]
He played in the Melbourne team in the 1948 Grand Final.
Jackson won the 1954 Bendigo Football League best and fairest award, the Michelsen Medal[4][5] after he returned to play with Echuca.

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.
