History
[edit]Hydroelectric plant
[edit]Between 1922 and 1932 german engineers constructed a 3.4 MW hydroelectric power station (Hidrelétrica Bicas do Meio) for the Itajubá - Piquete power grid company (R.E.P.I.). Two transmission lines, mounted on steel lattice poles, supplied energy to the towns of Piquete and Itajubá and nearby weapon manufactures.[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.
