[edit]Yufka bread (Turkish: yufka ekmeği) is the Turkish name of a very thin, large (60 cm [24 in]) unleavened flatbread in Turkish cuisine, also known under different names in Arab cuisine, baked on a convex metal griddle, called saj in Arabic and saç in Turkish.[1][2][3]
Arab saj bread is somewhat similar to markook shrek, but is thinner and larger.[4]
In Palestine, the saj bread is simply called shrāke, differing from the markook, which is baked in a clay oven (tannur).[4]
In Cyprus, it is known as pitta saji. It is eaten as a snack. The dough is lightly sweetened with honey and cinnamon.[5]
Stuffed bread
[edit]Gözleme is a savory, soft Turkish stuffed flatbread, cooked on the convex saç.[6][7]
Indian sub-continent
[edit]Tava roti bread
[edit]Tava roti is a roti cooked on a tava.

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.
