A selenonic acid is an organoselenium compound containing the −SeO3H functional group. The formula of selenonic acids is R−Se(=O)2−OH, where R is organyl group. Selenonic acids are the selenium analogs of sulfonic acids.[1] Examples of the acid are rare. Benzeneselenonic acid PhSeO3H (where Ph stands for phenyl) is a white solid. It can be prepared by the oxidation of benzeneselenol.[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.
