Class: Polypodiopsida
Order: Psilotales
Scientific name: Psilotum
Kingdom: Plantae
Higher classification: Psilotaceae
Did you know: There are only two species in Psilotum and a hybrid between the two.
______________________________
Psilotum is a genus of fern-like vascular plants, commonly known as whisk ferns. It is one of two genera in the family Psilotaceae, the other being Tmesipteris. Plants in these two genera were once thought to be descended from the earliest surviving vascular plants, but more recent phylogenies place them as basal ferns, as a sister group to Ophioglossales. They lack true roots and leaves, the stems being the organs containing conducting tissue. There are only two species in Psilotum and a hybrid between the two. They differ from those in Tmesipteris in having stems with many branches and a synangium with three lobes rather than two.
