The Ven. Liscombe Clarke (24 August 1784 – 17 April 1841) was an Anglican priest. He served as Archdeacon of Sarum from 1827–36. He was also the incumbent at Downton and Biddestone, both in Wiltshire.[1]

Clarke was born in London, the son of Christopher Clarke of Lothbury. He was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford. He was a fellow of New College from 1806–15. He earned his B.A. in 1808 and M.A. 1812.[2][1]

Clarke apparently died in his sleep at the vicarage in Downton, where he was found dead on 17 April 1841. He had shown no signs of illness.[3]

  1. 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.
