A small Sikka region (non administrative) called Iwangeté or Iwang Geté encompasses the villages of Watublapi (Hewokloang district),[5] Héwokloang, Kloangpopot (Doreng district),[6][7] Hale (Mapitara district), and Hebingare (and quite a few others in between). Krowe is another name for this area, although neither names are quite accurate. People of this area produce a very distinctive ikat cloth: the widest bands (called ina geté) bear such motifs as lizard (teké), a circular motif seen on some antique plates (pigan uben), spinning wheel (jata selér) and pineapple flower (petan puhun).[8]

[edit]Paulus Moa was Regent of Sikka for a few years between 2002 and 2006.

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.
