Hodgsoniola is a genus of herbs in the family Asphodelaceae, first described as a genus in 1860. There is but one known species, Hodgsoniola junciformis, endemic to Western Australia.[1] The species was first described in 1860 by Ferdinand von Mueller as Hodgsonia junciformis,[2][3] but in 1861 he reassigned it to the genus, Hodgsoniola (in the index).[2][4]
It is a tufted perennial herb growing from 20 cm to 50 cm high and flowers from September to December.[5]
It grows in the IBRA regions of Swan Coastal Plain, Warren, and Jarrah Forest on grey-black sand in swamps.[5]

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.
