The Alternative for Bulgarian Revival (Bulgarian: Алтернатива за българско възраждане, romanized: Alternativa za balgarsko vazrazhdane, АБВ) is a centre-left[2] political party in Bulgaria. ABV, the romanized party's initials in Bulgarian, are the first three letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, equivalent to ABC.[3] A social-democratic party,[1] it holds pro-European[4] and "quasi-nationalist social conservative" views.[5]
History

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.
