Labial–uvular consonants are doubly articulated consonants that occur at two places of articulation, the lips and the uvula. They have been attested in Lese, a Mangbutu-Efe language spoken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.[1][2][3]
Labial–uvular stops[edit]
One labial–uvular stop is attested, [q͡p], and it is present in the Lese language, occurring as an allophone of /q͡ɓ/, which is mostly likely another labial–uvular stop with significant lowering and a strong release.[1][2] The standard labial–uvular stop is also found in Iha.[4][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.
