The Marlin Model 25MG is a smooth bore, bolt-action, .22 WMR rifle manufactured by Marlin firearms Company.[4] It was designed to shoot snake shot and marketed as a "Garden Gun" for use in dispatching small garden and farm pests.[5] It also has been used for airport and warehouse pest control.[2]
Based on earlier Marlin .22-caliber designs, the Garden Gun was equipped with a high-visibility front sight but no rear sight.[2][3] It was available with either a black synthetic stock or a straight-combed hardwood stock.[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.
