James Anthony Lehew (August 19, 1937 – December 23, 2016) was an American professional baseball player. The right-handed relief pitcher appeared in eight games for the Baltimore Orioles during the 1961 and 1962 seasons. He was listed at 6 feet (1.83 m) tall and 185 pounds (84 kg).
Known for his submarine style delivery, Lehew was signed as an amateur free agent by the Orioles prior to the 1958 season. During his minor league career, Lehew slipped a disc in his back which nearly cost him his career.[1]
Lehew's big-league trials occurred during the final month of the 1961 season and the early weeks of 1962, when teams were permitted to expand their rosters. In his eight appearances, he allowed 11 hits and three bases on balls in 112⁄3 innings pitched, but only two earned runs. He struck out two.
Lehew's career continued through 1964, with all seven of his pro seasons spent in the Baltimore organization.
Lehew died December 23, 2016, in Grantsville, Maryland at the age of 79.[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.
