Palaemonoidea is a large superfamily of shrimp, containing nearly 1,000 species.[1] The position of the family Typhlocarididae is unclear, although the monophyly of a group containing the remaining seven families is well supported.[2]

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.
