Agia Eirini Gorge (Greek Φαράγγι Αγίας Ειρήνης), sometimes called St. Irene Gorge, is located in the south-west of the island of Crete, Greece, in Lefka Ori. The gorge starts near the village of Agia Eirini and it ends near the village of Sougia, on the south coast. It is 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi)[1] long and 45–500 metres (148–1,640 ft) deep, in a forested area with steep mountain cliffs.[2] In 1866, 1,000 women and children escaped from the Ottomans through this gorge.

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.
