Apollonia (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλωνία) was a town of Mygdonia in Macedon, south of Lake Bolbe,[1] and north of the Chalcidian mountains, on the road from Thessalonica to Amphipolis, as we learn from the Acts of the Apostles,[2] and the Itineraries.[3][4] Pliny the Elder mentions this Apollonia.[5]
The site of Apollonia is near the modern Néa Apollonía.[6][7]

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.
