The Institute of Measurement and Control (InstMC) is a professional organization for individuals and companies that operate within the measurement and control theory industries. It was founded in 1944 and incorporated by the Royal Charter in 1975.[1] Its objective is to advance the science and practice of measurement and control technologies and their various applications. The institute is both a learned society and a professional qualifying body.[2] InstMC is registered with the Engineering Council and is one of the licensed member institutions allowed to register Chartered Engineers (CEng)[3]
The institute is the UK member body of the International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO)[4] and is the secretariat to the United Kingdom Automatic Control Council (UKACC).

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.
