Natsudaidain is an O-methylated flavonol, a type of chemical compound. It can be isolated from Citrus plants[1] (Rutaceae). The name of the molecule comes from Citrus natsudaidai (Natsumikan, lit. "summer tangerine"), a fruit of Japan developed in 1740 with a particularly tart/sour taste.

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.
