Profile
[edit]Founded in 2011 Team UK Youth were sponsored by UK Youth, a UK-based youth work charity. The team rode senior professional events in the United Kingdom and Europe, other than the Grand Tours and UCI ProTour races. For the 2012 season they expanded the team, joining the UCI Continental Circuits, and competing in the Tour of Britain.[4]

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.
