Scott Vermillion (December 23, 1976 – December 25, 2020) was an American professional soccer player from Olathe, Kansas, who played for the Kansas City Wizards and Colorado Rapids.[1][2][3] He entered the league in 1998 as a member of Generation Adidas, then known as Project 40. He was a Third Team All American in his junior year at the University of Virginia before joining Project 40.[4] In his final season at UVA the team finished as runner up to UCLA in the 1997 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament.
He died on December 25, 2020, at the age of 44 from acute alcohol and prescription drug poisoning.[5] In 2022, Boston University examined his brain and found that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Vermillion was the first soccer player to have been diagnosed with CTE posthumously.[6]

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.
