Ivory Forest is a recording by a quartet led by pianist Hal Galper. It was released on the Enja Label in 1980. It features a 28-year-old John Scofield, whose 1979 Enja album Rough House featured Galper and drummer Adam Nussbaum in a similar quartet context. Nussbaum and Scofield also formed part of the Dave Liebman Quintet at this time, and played together in Scofield's trio from 1980 to 1983.
The album opens with two solo instrumental performances of pieces from the jazz standard repertoire. First, Scofield plays a solo guitar arrangement of Thelonious Monk's "Monk's Mood", and then Galper plays a solo arrangement of the Latin American popular song Yellow Days. The rest of the album features quartet performances of compositions written by Galper.

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.
