In Mosiah 18, Nephites living in King Noah's territory who want to listen to Alma's secret preaching gather to a place called the waters of Mormon.[1] In the process of this preaching, Alma proceeds to invite the listeners to be baptized.[2] Two hundred and four people are baptized, and Alma establishes a church.[1]
Later in the Book of Mormon, Mosiah 5, Alma's son, also named Alma, gives a sermon in which he recapitulates the history of the Nephite church and tells his audience the baptisms in the waters of Mormon.[3]

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.
