Eric John (1922–2000) was a reader in history at the University of Manchester and a specialist in Anglo-Saxon history. He was described by James Campbell as "one of the most distinguished and provocative of Anglo-Saxonists".[1][2] D. H. Farmer described his studies of the English Benedictine Reform, mainly in pages 154-264 of Orbis Britanniae, as "both stimulating and provocative; even those who cannot assent to all his conclusions recognise that he has brought a new dimension to the study of the reform".[3]
His books included:
- The king and the monks in the tenth-century Reformation. Manchester, UK: John Rylands Library. 1959. OCLC 35146827.
- Land tenure in early England; a discussion of some problems. Leicester, UK: Leicester University Press. 1960. OCLC 2311824.
- Orbis Britanniae. Leicester, UK: Leicester University Press. 1966. OCLC 398831.
- Reassessing Anglo-Saxon England. Manchester, UK: Manchester University Press. 1996. ISBN 0-7190-5053-7.
He also contributed chapters on the later Anglo-Saxon period in The Anglo-Saxons (1982), edited by James Campbell; and "The Social and Political Problems of the Early English Church" in Anglo-Saxon History: Basic Readings (2000) edited by David Pelteret.
Edward the Elder 899-924 (2001) was dedicated as a memorial to the life and work of Eric John.[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.
