The Suolama (Russian: Суолема, Suolema; Yakut: Суолама) is a river in Krasnoyarsk Krai and Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russia. It is a tributary of the Anabar with a length of 262 kilometres (163 mi). Its drainage basin area is 7,440 square kilometres (2,870 sq mi).[1]
The river flows 730 km (450 mi) north of the Arctic Circle, from the Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District of Krasnoyarsk Krai eastwards into the northwestern limit of coastal Yakutia. It is an area of permafrost, flat, lonely and desolate, devoid of settlements. The nearest inhabited place is Yuryung-Khaya.[2][3]
Course
[edit]The Suolama is a left tributary of the Anabar. Its sources are in the southeastern corner of fairly large Kieng-Kyuel lake of the North Siberian Lowland. It heads roughly eastwards / northeastwards all along its course within a swampy area with numerous lakes. Finally it joins the left bank of the Anabar only 0.8 km (0.50 mi) from its mouth. The confluence is just a little upstream of Anabar Bay.[4][2][3]
The river is fed by rain and snow. Owing to the severe climate it is frozen between late September and early June. The longest tributaries are the 121 kilometres (75 mi) long Lastik (Ластик) and the 110 kilometres (68 mi) long Poperechnaya (Поперечная) from the right.[1][5]

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.
