John Richmond Scobie (22 September 1891 – 23 April 1974) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne and Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and for East Fremantle in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).
Originally from junior club Rose of Northcote, Scobie made his senior VFL debut in 1909 and was South Melbourne's full-back in their 1909 premiership side, the club's first at VFL level.[2] He was the youngest member of the grand final winning side, having turned 18 only ten days prior.[2] While at South Melbourne he was regarded as one of the top defenders in the league.[3]
Scobie spent four more seasons with South Melbourne and played as a half back flanker in the 1912 VFL Grand Final, but this time finished on the losing side.[2]
During the war he played in Western Australia with East Fremantle and participated in their 1914 and 1918 premierships.[4]
He finished his career back in Victoria, where he spent a year playing for Carlton Football Club in the VFL.[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.
