A TOTimal is a drawing or picture of a fictitious animal used to stimulate tip-of-the-tongue (or TOT) events.[1][2][3][4] TOTimals generally combine features of many different animals, creating a familiar feel, while still making it impossible to identify the animal.[5]

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.
