Ganbulanyi djadjinguli is a fossil species of Miocene dasyurid, described in 1998 and assigned to a new genus. The dentition has characteristics exhibited by mammals known as bone-crackers, a type of durophagy in which the animal is able to obtain to extract food contained in bony material. The amount of fossil material is inadequate to place this taxon within the Dasyuromorph order, but affinities are recognised with the Sarcophilus, the Tasmanian devil, and the extinct species Barinya wangala.[1]

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.
