Gavialis pachyrhynchus is an extinct species of gavialid from the Miocene of India.[2][3] Although only known from fragmentary jaw material, the size of this material is substantially larger than comparable bones in large gharials.[4]
A 2018 re-evaluation of the genus Gavialis suggests that G. pachyrhynchus be instead moved under the genus Rhamphosuchus.[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.
