Menodotus of Nicomedia (Greek: Μηνόδοτος ὁ Νικομηδεύς; 2nd century CE), in Bithynia, was a physician; a pupil of Antiochus of Laodicea; and tutor to Herodotus of Tarsus. He belonged to the Empiric school, and lived probably about the beginning of the 2nd century CE.[1] He refuted some of the opinions of Asclepiades of Bithynia,[2] and was exceedingly severe against the Dogmatic school.[3] He enjoyed a considerable reputation in his day, and is several times quoted and mentioned by Galen.[4] He appears to have written some works which are quoted by Diogenes Laërtius, but are not now extant.

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.
