Ida Clyde Clarke (nee Gallaher; 1878–1956) was an American journalist, writer and suffragist.[1] "She was a prolific and multi-faceted writer, producing works of both fiction and non-fiction studies of community organization and feminism".[2]
Life[edit]
In 1920 she founded a monthly magazine The Independent Woman, editing it until 1921.[3]
She was a contributing editor to Pictorial Review and founded its $5,000 annual award for women of achievement.[4]
In 1932 her son, Haden Clarke, was a ghostwriter engaged to write the memoirs of the aviator Jessie Miller. After a relationship ensued between Clarke and Miller, Clarke was killed by a gunshot wound to the head. The gun belonged to Miller's partner Bill Lancaster, who also admitted forging suicide notes, but Lancaster was acquitted of murder charges.[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.
