Beautiful Jersey or Man Bieau P'tit Jèrri is a Jersey patriotic song, sung in Jèrriais and English. It was composed by an Englishman, Lindsay Lennox, who died in 1906.[1][2] During the Occupation, islanders would sing the song to keep their spirits up.[3] Today it is performed at Liberation Day and as Jersey's national anthem at some sporting events.[4][1]
Use
[edit]Every year, Beautiful Jersey is sung at the main Liberation Day service in Liberation Square. Sadie Le Sueur-Rennard, the late Connétable of St Saviour used to sing the song.[4]
National anthem
[edit]It is considered by many as a suitable national anthem for Jersey,[5] and functioned as an unofficial anthem for Jersey prior to Island Home being declared the official Jersey anthem.[citation needed] Even still, it has been performed as the national anthem for Jersey in the 2015 Island Games for the opening and medal ceremonies.[1]
In a 2015 poll by the Jersey Evening Post, over a third of islanders questioned wanted Beautiful Jersey to be recognised as the national anthem for Jersey, compared to under 20% for Island Home, the official anthem.[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.
