A misdeal in card games is an error by the dealer which calls for a re-deal and/or a penalty.[1] The rules for a misdeal and penalty vary according to the game. A misdeal is sometimes called by miscounting, or when two cards stick together.[2] Sometimes, when a misdeal is detected, a new hand is dealt.[3][4] In most games a misdeal, and recall of the cards, does not prevent the same player dealing again.[5]
Sometimes game book authors or tournament organisers may lay down specific misdeal rules in e.g. Pinochle,[6] Spades,[7] and Euchre.[8][9]

Misdeal: A misdeal is a hand that is dealt improperly—a player not receiving a card or too many cards, for example. If a misdeal is detected early enough, the cards are returned to the dealer and a new hand is dealt.

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.
