Libretto
[edit]Va, dal furor portata,
Palesa il tradimento;
Ma ti sovvenga ingrata,
Il traditor qual'è.
Scopri la frode ordita,
Ma pensa in quel momento,
Ch'io ti donai la vita,
Che tu la togli a me.
Go, transported by fury,
reveal the treachery;
but remember, ingrate,
who is the traitor.
Disclose the deception that was planned;
but at the moment consider
that I gave you life
and you take it from me.

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.
