Dornești (German: Kriegsdorf, Hungarian: Hadikfalva, popularly also known in Romanian as Hadic, a shortened form of its Hungarian name) is a commune located in Suceava County, in the historical region of Bukovina, northeastern Romania. It is composed of two villages, Dornești and Iaz. From 1786 to 1941, the village of Dornești was inhabited by the Székelys of Bukovina. In the past, the commune was also inhabited by a German minority, more specifically Bukovina Germans (German: Bukowinadeutsche or Buchenlanddeutsche). Nowadays, the vast majority of the population are ethnic Romanians (approximately 90% of the commune's population according to the 2011 Romanian census).

As it is the case of other rural settlements from Suceava County, Dornești (Hungarian: Hadikfalva, German: Kriegsdorf) was previously inhabited by a small German community, more specifically by Bukovina Germans (German: Bukowinadetusche or Buchenlanddeutsche) during the modern period up until the mid 20th century, starting as early as the Habsburg period and, later on, the Austro-Hungarian period. However, the main ethnic group of the commune was that of the Székelys of Bukovina well into the times of the Kingdom of Romania.
At the 1930 Romanian census, the Székelys of Dornești accounted for 91.9% of the commune's population Both the Romanians and the Germans amounted to 2.63% each. Other smaller ethnic groups registered at the time in the commune included Jews (1.72%) and Poles (0.93%). In addition, the vast majority of the inhabitants of Dornești were Roman Catholic.[citation needed] In February 1932, the Dornești communal counsil unanimously declared Dimitrie Tușinschi, president of the Higher Regional Court in Cernăuți, an honorary citizen of Dornești. He was given the title in recognition of his merits in the restoration of the commune's previously destroyed land register.[2]

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.
