The Archdiocese of Ancyra (Latin: Archidioecesis Ancyrana) is a suppressed titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[1][2] It was established in the 17th century as the Catholic counterpart to the Orthodox residential see, the Metropolis of Ancyra,[3][4] which existed until the early 20th century at Ankara, in Turkey. The see has been vacant since 24 May 1976.

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.
