The Danube metropolitan area[2] or Galați–Brăila metropolitan area is a proposed metropolitan area project in Romania. It would be formed from the cities of Galați and Brăila, and 15 nearby communes from Galați, Brăila and Tulcea counties.[3][4] Together they have a population of 441,801 people, of whom 372,537 live in the cities of Galați and Brăila (as of 2021).[1]
As defined by Eurostat, as of 2015[update] the Galați functional urban area has a population of 322,501 residents, whilst the Brăila functional urban area has a population of 217,645 residents.[5]

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.
