In Homer's Odyssey, Mesaulius (Ancient Greek: Μεσαύλιος) is the servant of Eumaeus (Odysseus's swineheard), who purchases him during his own master's long absence from Ithaca during and in the aftermath of the Trojan War. Mesaulius was acquired from the Taphians with Eumaeus's own ostensibly meagre resources and served as a waiter during Odysseus's first supper back home, in Eumaeus's hut, with its owner and his fellow drovers.[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.
