Dona Isabel de Josa y Cardona (c. 1508 in Lleida, Catalonia, Spain – 1575 in Lleida) was a Catalan writer.[1]
Born Isabel d'Orrit as a member of an influential and wealthy Barcelonian family, she married Guillem Ramon de Josa.[1] She was a humanist, Latinist, philosopher, and specialist on the theology of Dun Scotus.[1] Along with other women from wealthy and influential Barcelona families, she belonged to an exclusively female organization called “las Iñigas,” which was composed of devotees of Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order.[1] She helped Ignatius during his studies, and corresponded with him for a number of years.[2] Isabel de Josa was widowed in 1539, after which she travelled to Rome.[3]
She wrote a treatise entitled Tristis Isabella, which is now lost.[4]

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.
