Papyrus 50 (Gregory-Aland), designated by 𝔓50, is an early copy of a small part of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Acts of the Apostles, it contains Acts 8:26-32; 10:26-31. The manuscript palaeographically has been assigned to the 3rd/4th century.[1] Elijah Hixson suggests that the manuscript may possibly be a forgery based on anomalies in line spacing, some text seeming to wrap around lacunae, and serious issues with fiber alignment in the papyrus.[2]
Description
[edit]The Greek text of this codex is mixed. It has some orthographical peculiarities and corrections. Aland placed it in Category III.[1] The text generally concurs with Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus.[3]
The nomina sacra are contracted (ΙΛΗΜ, ΠΝΑ, ΑΝΟΣ, ΑΝΟΝ, ΘΣ, ΘΥ, ΚΥ).[4]
The manuscript was purchased in Paris by Yale University in 1933 along with other manuscripts of Egyptian provenance.[5] The text of the codex was published in 1937 by Carl H. Kraeling.[6]
It is currently housed at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University (P.CtYBR inv. 1543) in New Haven.[1][7][8]

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.
