  • the zone of Siphonodella quadruplicata and Patrognathus andersoni (upper zone of Patrognathus andersoni)

  • the zone of Patrognathus variabilis

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  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.
