Umbral eclipses
[edit]Umbral eclipses (annular, total and hybrid) can be further classified as either: 1) Central (two limits), 2) Central (one limit) or 3) Non-Central (one limit). The statistical distribution of these classes in Saros series 109 appears in the following table.
Classification | Number | Percent |
---|---|---|
All Umbral eclipses | 43 | 100.00% |
Central (two limits) | 41 | 95.35% |
Central (one limit) | 2 | 4.65% |
Non-central (one limit) | 0 | 0.00% |
All eclipses

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.
