Bjørnør is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county in Norway. The 865-square-kilometre (334 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until 1892 in what was at that time the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway.[2] It encompassed the area of what is now the municipality of Osen along with the Roan and Stoksund areas in the present day municipality of Åfjord, all in the western part of the Fosen peninsula in Trøndelag county. Bjørnør bordered the municipality of Aafjord to the south and Nordre Trondhjem county to the north and west. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Roan where the Roan Church is located.[3][4]
History
[edit]The municipality of Bjørnør was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). On 15 January 1892, the King approved a royal resolution to split up the municipality of Bjørør. It went into effect on 1 June 1892 when Bjørnør ceased to exist, and it was split into three new municipalities: Osen (population: 1,575), Roan (population: 2,069), and Stoksund (population: 1,122).[5]
Name
[edit]The municipality (originally the parish) is named Bjørnør after the historic name for the area (Old Norse: Bjarnaurar). The first element plural genitive case of the word bjǫrn which means "bear". The last element is aurr which means "gravel" or "coarse sand".[6]
Government
[edit]During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[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.
