A lava cone is a type of volcano composed primarily of viscous lava flows. The volcanic cone can contain a convex profile due to the flank flows of viscous lava.
Locations
[edit]Lava cones are nearly unique to Bougainville Island in Papua New Guinea, within the Melanesia subregion of Oceania.
However, an unnamed group of seven lava cones is located in the Obul-Samarask upland of southern Georgia, in Western Asia. The cones are early Pleistocene to Holocene in age. Many of the craters have a well-preserved morphology. The tallest is 3,400 metres (11,200 ft).[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.
