Excision repair cross-complementing (ERCC) is a set of proteins which are involved in DNA repair.[1]
In humans, ERCC proteins are transcribed from the following genes:
ERCC1, ERCC2, ERCC3, ERCC4, ERCC5, ERCC6, and ERCC8.
Members 1 though 5 are associated with Xeroderma Pigmentosum.
Members 6 and 8 are associated with Cockayne syndrome.

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.
