Henoonia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Solanaceae.[1] The only species is Henoonia myrtifolia.[2] It is native to Cuba.[2]
The genus name of Henonia is thought to be in honour of Jacques-Louis Hénon (1802–1872), a French republican politician.[3] The Latin specific epithet of myrtifolia 'myrtle-leaved' is derived from the Latin myrtus meaning 'myrtle', and folium meaning 'leaf'.[4] It was first described and published in Cat. Pl. Cub. on page 167 in 1866.[2]

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.
