Sigurd Akre-Aas (12 June 1897 – 18 June 1968) was a Norwegian fencer.[1] He competed at the 1924 and 1928 Summer Olympics.[2]
He also won the national championships in the 1920s – most of them with the sabre (1922, 1923, 1925, 1926 and 1928). In his private life, he was an engineer specialising in refrigerator systems. He survived the war years as an inventor of small household appliances. The company he started in 1946 still exists. A bronze statue was unveiled of him at the 2019 Veidemann Festival in Åkrestrømmen culture park in Rendalen municipality.[3]

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.
