Help ID a plant.

I thought I had this plants identity sorted but I seem to have misidentified it. Anyone have a fix on what it is? It has a small yellow flower about 2-3mm size, a lot like a fern in the way it branches from the soil with a brown fibrous root and small nodes forming just beneath the ground before sending up another branch. I had thought it was a ephedra but it doesn't have the same jointed stems as E.sinica perhaps it's another variety? Yellowish to dark green colour, branchy twig like structure. Would love to find out if I am actually right to it being e.sinica but a a seedling next to it has definite differences, the way it doesn't have a full jointed structure.

Ja, I can vaguely make them out, but that's about all.

Most likely Psilotum sp. aka whisk fern. Good guess on the fern bit, optimistic thinking on the Ephedra bit :P
