The A627(M) is a motorway that runs between Chadderton and Rochdale in Greater Manchester, England. It is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long and connects the two towns to the M62. It opened in 1972.[2]
Route
[edit]Heading north, the road starts as a two-lane dual carriageway on the A663 at Chadderton. It turns sharply left and passes west of Royton. It continues to its next junction, where it has a 1-mile (1.6 km) spur. Although signed as the A627(M), a map exists showing it as the A6138(M).[3] After this junction it gains a third lane, before reaching a roundabout at the M62 junction 20. This junction has been designed to accommodate a future flyover.[4] After crossing the roundabout, the route continues as a dual two-lane route for another 1 mi (1.6 km) before turning sharp right to reach its terminal crossroads.

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.
