Rosterolone (INN ) (developmental code name SH-434), also known as 17α-propylmesterolone or 1α-methyl-17α-propyl-5α-androstan-17β-ol-3-one, is a steroidal antiandrogen which was first described in 1984 and was developed for topical administration but was never marketed.[1][2] It has shown some efficacy in the treatment of acne, and lacks systemic effects with either topical or systemic administration.[3][1][2] Rosterolone is a derivative of mesterolone, which, in contrast, is an androgen and anabolic steroid.[citation needed]

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.
