Macro-Paesan (also spelled Macro-Paezan) is a proposal linking several small families and language isolates of northwest South America. Kaufman (2007) proposes the structure at the right. Paez–Barbacoan is commonly proposed, though Curnow (1998) argued that it (or at least Paez–Coconucan) is spurious.
Kunza–Kapixana was a more provisional suggestion (Kaufman 1990, 1994, 2007; Swadesh 1959),[1][2][3] but this connection is not widely accepted.[citation needed] Kunza is now generally considered to be a language isolate.
Jolkesky (2015) proposes lexical evidence linking the Páez, Andaqui (Andakí), and Tinígua languages.[4]

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.
