Maria Rønning (1741–1807), was a Norwegian-Faroese Weaver. She was born to Norwegian farmers Hans Gunnarsson Rønning and Anne Håvardsdatter, from 1768 married to Johan Christian Djurhuus, and the mother of the writer Jens Christian Djurhuus. She lived on the Faroe Islands after her marriage in 1768, where she was a well-known figure in folk lore. Her foremost achievement was her introduction of a new type of Loom, which made the important art of weaving easier and more developed on the islands.

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.
