Fluoroethyl is an organofluorine functional group in chemistry. Its chemical formulas are −CHFCH3 (1-fluoroethyl) and −CH2CH2F (2-fluoroethyl). The general formulas of a compound containing this group are R−CHFCH3 and R−CH2CH2F, where R stands for an organyl group.[1][2] An example of a compound containing the fluoroethyl group is (2-fluoroethyl)benzene Ph−CH2CH2F, where Ph stands for phenyl.

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.
