Thamnocalamus is a genus of clumping bamboo in the grass family.[3] These species are found from the Himalayas as well as Madagascar and Southern Africa.[4][5]
Thamnocalamus is closely related to Fargesia. The two genera are sometimes regarded as a single genus by some authors.[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.
