Ancient town of Phrygia
Abbassus or Ambasum (Latin: Abbassus;[1] Ἄμβασον[2]), was an ancient town of Phrygia, on the frontiers of the Tolistoboii, in Galatia.[3] It is, perhaps, the same as the Alamassus reported by of Hierocles,[4] and the Amadasse whose bishops attended early church councils. The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World note that its probable location is near Synnada,[5] however its precise location is not known.

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.
