General elections were held in Denmark on 14 May 1957.[1] The Social Democratic Party remained the largest in the Folketing, with 70 of the 179 seats. Voter turnout was 84% in Denmark proper, 38% in the Faroe Islands and 62% in Greenland (although only one of its two constituencies was contested as the incumbent in the other was re-elected unopposed).[2] The electoral threshold was 60,000 votes.

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. 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.
