Craig Develter appeared in two stints in 1995 and 1996, portrayed by Joel Tobeck. Craig was a friend of Otis Jackson's (Shane Bartle) but this changed when a drunk Otis crashed the car the two were traveling in. Craig was seriously injured and lost the use of his legs, becoming a wheelchair user The clinic staff soon realised the true manipulative nature of Craig when he began to blackmail and emotionally torture Otis as payback for his injuries. Craig returned the following year in a much better mindset having adjusted to his restrictions. However his disdain for the "system" was still apparent and he revealed secrets to manipulate the seriousness of paraplegia to the newly injured Rangi Heremaia (Blair Strang).
The "bad-ass, wheelchair-bound drug dealer" portrayal of Craig was later identified as, "one of the show's more memorable characters" by a reviewer from The New Zealand Herald.[1]

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.
