Rianna Soraya Scipio is a British television host,[2][3] journalist,[4] producer and director who is best known for her work on UK national television, as a prime-time television host (presenter) of such flagship series as the BBC‘s Watchdog,[5] Holiday, UK’s Worst…?,[6] Newsroom Southeast, Wide World (Channel 5), and on BBC Radio 2 and Choice FM (Global Radio).[7][8][9][10][11]
Scipio is recognized as the UK’s first black weather girl[12] and has been involved in film.[13]
After Moira Stuart declined the role, Scipio was approached to be the main host of Black Britain, the first program of its kind from the BBC’s News and Current Affairs Department.[14] Across three seasons, Scipio conducted television interview one-hour specials with such accidental heroes as Doreen Lawrence, mother of slain teenager Stephen Lawrence, who singlehandedly changed the face of British justice.
Her celebrity interviewees include Piers Morgan, Deepak Chopra, Mel B, Terry McMillan, Jackie Collins, Levi Roots, Laura Carmichael, Bruno Tonioli and Lara Pulver.

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.
