The Luban languages are a group of Bantu languages spoken by the Luba people in the south of DRC Congo, established by Christine Ahmed (1995). They constitute half of Guthrie's Zone L. The languages, or clusters, along with their Guthrie identifications, are:
- Yazi (L20)
- Songe (Songye), Binji (L20)
- Hemba: Hemba (L20), Kebwe (L30), Bangubangu of Kabambare (D20)
- Luba (L30): Kaonde (L40), Kete (L20), Kanyok, Luba-Kasai (TshiLuba), Luba-Katanga (KiLuba)–Sanga–Zela, Bangubangu (of Mutingua, D20)
The remaining L20 (Songe) languages, Lwalu, Luna, and Budya, presumably belong here.[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.
