Mohammedan Sporting Ground (also known as Mohammedan Sporting–Howrah Union Ground)[3] is a multi-use stadium in Kolkata, West Bengal.[4] It is used mostly for football matches and is mainly the home stadium of Mohammedan.[5] The ground has a natural grass turf.[6][7] Having facilities such as commentary boxes for radio and TV, press box and air conditioned changing rooms, the stadium holds 15,000 people.[2] It is also the home ground of Howrah Union,[8] which it shares with Mohammedan.

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.
