NGC 2328 is a low-luminosity,[3] early-type (lenticular) galaxy. It is located in the Puppis constellation. NGC 2328 is its New General Catalogue designation. It is located about 59 million light-years (18 Megaparsecs) away from the Sun.[3]
NGC 2328 was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, revealing a ring of star clusters near the center of the galaxy. These star clusters are massive, and are consequently quite young as well.[3]

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.
